Very nice!
After much deliberation I ended up going with all RW Carbon pieces--front lip, diffuser, and side skirts. I placed the order almost a month ago and everything arrived last week. In fact, I finally got my M2C today so the parts arrived before the car. If I'm being honest the quality isn't 100% with some imperfections in the clear coat but it isn't a big deal considering they're pieces that go close to the ground. Nobody will be seeing perfect clear coat that low on the car and I'm sure there will be plenty of rock strikes and other wear & tear after a few miles. Bonus: RW Carbon must have been really excited about my order because they mistakenly shipped a second set of side skirts and rear diffuser. Maybe they'll give me free stuff for notifying them of their error? |

Interesting, I hadn't thought about the legal side of keeping the parts. I guess my North Dakota upbringing keeps me honest even when I don't have to be.

Weirdly happened to me with amazon. Ordered something and got an expensive set of spatulas in addition to the item I ordered. I have no use for these so I called and they ended up giving me another year of prime, which to me is much more useful than cake decorating spatulas. |

That's almost $3K in parts. If the quality isn't there, I'm thinking I go another route.

The front lip I got from them is a Dry Carbon piece and the finish on it is flawless. I have a video around of a close up I did, will try to load it. Edit, let me know if this link works: https://www.dropbox.com/s/h50eavhab2...20Lip.MOV?dl=0

I guess I've been somewhat scatterbrained in my posts about the RW Carbon parts. Here's another thread where I gave a few more details about the quality of the parts I received. Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions Quote:
After I get a carbon rear spoiler I'll post some photos of the car. I think it's coming together quite nicely. The windows were tinted today and the tint guy even commented about how they, i.e. BMW, did a great job with all the carbon accents on the car. I took it as a compliment that I chose the right parts. I told him it was all aftermarket parts and showed him the defects--he said nobody will ever notice what I pointed out. Perhaps he's right... |

Economatic & BAN_M2C, thank you for replying. Glad we have this little community to work through where to spend out money lol.
Ban, you purchased all your parts from AP, did they give you a decent deal? Looks like they are located overseas. Was shipping a huge PITA? At the current exchange rate, their prices aren't any less expensive than the local guys but if the quality is there, this may be the best option.

I did a bundle deal with AP to kill some shipping costs, their online calculator usually only calculates shipping for largest item but does not account for the added parts so you always need to contact them to get the right amount. Transit time is a hit or miss when moving overseas. When I got my lip I had two more local people interested in getting one also so we actually got 5 shipped over and AP was just having me reroute the lips to US customers to cut down some shipping price and also transit time. I now have some of their parts here to be able to ship them on their behalf, that's why I sent Economatic some arch guards recently. Don't have everything they carry but have some of their M2 specific parts. If looking for something specific DM me and I can see what I can do for you.
