Cause you guys got the shorter better looking front bumper.


And optional refrigerated top glove box!!!!!!

I really want that option after seeing it.
also the UK gets optional skyroof, and a whole lot of other cool things.

Maybe you can find someone like JDP in the UK who would be willing to make a CF lip.

cheers

I will make fiberglass versions of this, but it will be after all carbon orders are fulfilled.

Thanks for the reply dude

The optional refrigerated top glove box isnt really that special- its not actually refrigerated at all! Bit of a mis-selling imo, but if you look at the brochure closely, it does say its a "cool box".

Not sure if you guys are aware, but all it is is within the top glove box, there is a side vent which, combined with the a/c, blows cold air into the box- and hence keeping whatever you want in there cool/ cold.

As for the sky roof, that is well However, i didnt opt for that as it would have been £2k more; it had things like cruise control and weigh more lol

I'll see if i can get anyone in the UK to do something similar, otherwise, I may go for the J's Racing one

There isn't an official list of orders yet...but that's a good idea.

Can we start one and then I will pm and update the list has the orders are fulfilled.

Carbon is more durable than fiberglass, but there's different grades in carbon. Majority of people use 3K strength carbon, which is what I use. I sure there's other companies that use 1K, which isn't as thick but gives the carbon look to it.

Either way, I reinforce each lip really well. But it doesn't mean it can't break. Anything will crack or break...it's just the matter of how hard you hit something.

I hope this helps!

Here are pictures. I designed the lip to mount up on the bumper using all your OEM hardware.

Enjoy...I will be taking orders soon.

















price?

matching mirror covers? rear wing?

I do vaguely recall it being also mentioned as a cool box as well, but since the Refrigerated Top Glove Box was in larger lettering that's what stuck. I thought it was an actual fridge like the some cars have. Thanks for the information. +reps


That is true you guys can install all the really cool JDM stuff... J's got some nice things for the non-USDM GE8's.



Carbon fiber ftw!
