DF Aero Kit (Fenders and rear wing)
 
1 Attachment(s)
The designer of this kit is now a member of the site, just wanted to welcome Sebastian and get some feedback from the members here. I love the fenders myself and hope to get them when they are available.

Nice im looking for a clean looking wide body ad rear options?

GTB/ZR-1 12-08-2012 11:11 AM

Wider front fenders, an ultra tasteful, understated front wing & that's it? Perfect, IMO...

I'm in for those pieces in the future--after the hairdryer goes in.

Hi all.

Nice to be among fellow FRS builders/owners.

As for the parts its all under ongoing process. Talking to dealers and other manufactors and see were to aim and sell these peices. At first we focus on the Rearwing and we are talking about 1# Do a Add on part 2# Do a complete replacement trunk in carbon fiber. For a addon part this big the fitment needs to be 100% on point, even if we use state of the art laserscanns and 3d milling its always some room for errors. So plan for making a complete trunk is better. And that is if the cost of manufactoring it can be held down to be able to have good matching prices on every replacement part we will release! Same for the front fenders,

I can't believe how good simplicity looks. I want it. Looks like the fenders could get chipped with debris during daily driving though.

Hi.

Yes its ofcourse is a problem that is hard to solve! Both looking good and be usefull:) But as in this stage the fenders are just simple mockups and not final product! So what i think its not gona go that deep in with the airduct and also we will try leveling it out so it flows with sides more! By adding some mm to widen the fenders.

mashal 12-08-2012 12:13 PM

This is what I want

Any estimate on when it will be available?

DF-Aero 12-08-2012 12:46 PM

At this point its to early to tell. But we are focusing on getting this out the first half of 2013

PRORICAN 12-08-2012 12:52 PM

I've been following this kit on Facebook and I love it! Would love to have those fenders on my car, so hopefully the quality, fit, and price is right!

GTB/ZR-1 12-08-2012 01:04 PM

How far do they extend from stock 1-2"? I'll be looking to run a 285 square setup. Also, any preliminary idea on pricing?

Thx

I love that trunk/spoiler combo. And I think 1 complete piece would also look a lot better then an add-on piece. Can't wait to see the final product.

DF-Aero 12-18-2012 10:59 AM

Hi all.

Just want to give you some updates on this. We are in discussion with various dealers,distributors that want to help out getting this parts in the shelf world wide. So its abit on the paperstage and will soon be updating info about the parts themself.

Thanx / DF-Aero

yeah i saw this on facebook like 2 months ago, i feel in love with that wing!

Turbowned 12-18-2012 12:08 PM

Interesting stuff. Not my style but it looks high-quality.

DF-Aero 12-18-2012 07:57 PM

Someone in here thats working with aerodynamics in any way?

OmarGC 12-18-2012 08:09 PM

Would love these fenders so I can go more aggressive up front. NOW

The current ones aren't any wider than stock but they will be on the production models from what I was told. I love them too.

czar07 12-18-2012 10:04 PM

more pictures of the wing please

Cade01 12-18-2012 11:13 PM

Looks great, I just wish they were full faired fenders instead of the ones that stop just short. A full set of flares might look pretty good too.

chaotichoax 12-19-2012 12:47 AM

very interested in the production of the front fenders

soros151 12-19-2012 12:47 AM

Simply beautiful. Thank you guys!

DF-Aero 12-19-2012 09:02 AM

Hi all again. Its good that you come with wishes and feedback due to the position in the process we are still able to mix ur thoughts into the design of our products. Glad to see you support our work.

_F-R-S_ 12-19-2012 09:35 AM

No reply back to if rear flares?

I kinda like the S2000 bit look with wider front than the back. If that makes any sense.

Hi we will look into the rear fenders aswell as frontlip. So in the end we will have a complete lipkit and fenders + wing. But we cant garantee when this will be out. We are doing our best and will hopefully be able too announce this to you during next year.

_F-R-S_ 12-19-2012 09:51 AM

Nice well keep me in mind i deff want this kit

helloimgil 12-19-2012 12:46 PM

Interested to see where this goes

jserman 12-19-2012 01:10 PM

very very nice.. will be watching progressive.. love the front fenders and rear wing

DF-Aero 12-19-2012 04:30 PM

So people.

I want you to help us out and make a list of parts that would be highly appriciated. Likeover fenderflares,wing,replacement parts, lipkit etc. And we will look into it and post suggestions in here for you all to be apart on creating something that you really want! Sounds good?

/DF-Aero

RazBRZ 12-19-2012 04:38 PM

I want that spoiler! Do you have any more angles or a website? I hope it won't be carbon fiber, to expensive

Hi.

Yes the wing will be first priority. Atm we dont have more pics due to chance for it to spread to much and get copied from our fellow people over at a specific country... As soon we have a full scale prototype we will launch first of a FB page mainly about the BRZ/FRS aero making.

Do you know around when we'll get to see a prototype? I'd really like to see the fenders on an actual car.

Cade01 12-19-2012 05:44 PM

A full set of arch flares, maybe just two inches wider.

So how would u suggest in having these mount? Cut the fender and rivet on?

Thats something we feel that people do not want to do! But it is on our list absolutly. Kinda simple part, just needs users that are not afraid to cut the corners;)

ichitaka05 12-19-2012 06:38 PM

Welcome to the forum and it looks good so far. Here are several feedback from me.

Feedback on the OP pic.
Front Fenders:
Love em... but I'll be honest, I've seen that style enough, I'm kinda bored with em. I would do like STI wide fender style or something different. Also to add, I would make that fender 86 emblem part functional vent.

Rear Trunk/Spoiler:
Looks good. I need to see more photo in different angle to give more feedback.

Suggestions parts:
Side Skirts: I've seen several of em, but gotta say, I haven't seen any good ones. Most of em, they tried so part that it failed. I would keep it simple and don't add too much vents/angle too much on it.
Rear Fender: Please keep away from Rocket Bunny style wide fenders. Make it looks like a stock... but a bit wider (20~35mm)
Under panel Diffusers
*Front: Combine it w Front lip and having option of simple lip or full under panel diffuser style lip might be interesting to see
*Rear: It's amazing no shop have made it yet. Currently stock BRZ & TRD under diffuser is only out on the market. If you can make it, it'll prob sell it decently well

& there are few other things... but I don't wanna overload you with stuff.

GL w the project :thumbsup:

soros151 12-19-2012 06:50 PM

Affordable Functional brake ducts? An OEM looking, but more aggressive rear bumper with a better looking diffuser? Simple looking Fog Lights?

Can u show some brake ducts that you like and would like to be implemented?

Difuser is a big thing when it comes to aerodynamics, But timewise let see.

soros151 12-19-2012 06:59 PM

Something like this but leave the fog light hole covered to simplify it. That probably will lower costs and labor. You could make that your own.
