From an undisclosed seller:

Charge Speed Model Bottom Lines Carbon Complete Lip Kit 5 Pieces $2,280.00
Bottom Lines Carbon Front Lip $830.00
Bottom Lines Carbon Side Skirts Pair $870.00
Bottom Lines Carbon Rear Caps Pair $680.00
Carbon Roof Fin (Japanese CFRP) $680.00
Sadly, the roof fins aren't included in the entire set, so for the complete look we're talking almost $3K, I just can't justify that since it is more than 10% of the cost of the car. I don't really want a carbon version anyway (would rather flat black) so I guess I'll wait and see.

Agreed on the price thing. I'm not gonna say I can't see why it's $3,000 but I still can't get myself to pay that much for a few small pieces. I'd be more interested if it was about half the price but I'm not sure how great it'd look in flat black. The front and rear pieces would be fine but the side skirts would look funky in flat black and same for the VG.

Agreed with you Dadhawk... Rather just get some paint instead of Carbon. The cost of putting that type of kit car would be hard to justify. Waiting for the cheaper painted version hopefully! (I'll pass on the VG's though!)

Agreed on the price. I can't say it is/isn't a fair price, just not within my price range.

Maybe "flat black" isn't the right color, but I would want it to match the other black trim on the Firestorm FR-S. The shiny black CF would be too much of a contrast with the other trim for me.

Yeah like whatever that black would be called that's used in the foglight area would look fine I think.

Mmmm red FRS with this kit in that black we seem to be thinking of would be


I don't think I'd get quite the same effect on GBS
