This looks BEAUTIFUL!

You're so lucky you got it for $80 shipped..

I just added it to cart and it comes out to $352.98 now ��

Hey man your car looks great! Seems like the diffuser work out.

Could you get back to us on how the high kick rear spoiler ended up working out? How was the fitment? Thank you!

I've noticed numerous listings for aluminum GTS style hoods on ebay. Anyone have experience with these? I'm assuming aluminum hoods may possibly have better fitment than fiberglass/CF....

Bought this CS style spoiler from euro_kingdom and I must say the fit is great. There are some very very small "rough spots" on the clear but nothing you'll notice unless you're fondling it. Very happy with the results.

I purchased an M performance rep trunk lip for my F82 from Bulbxpert on ebay in early June 2019. After two months the clear coat started to fail on the trunk lip. i would recommend to stay away.

That's why i let my bodyshop sand of the clear coat and repaint it. So i know it's quality clearcoat.
Most of the replica stuff comes from China, and the clearcoat starts to peel off or colours yellow after a while.

Also bought a pair of splitters from bulbexpert, one side with very bad fitment. After 1 month he sent a new one from a different supplier with even worse fitment and different carbon structure.
Still waiting on a new one from him, guess i will never see it, as it's now 4 months...

I immediately put a few coats of wax, along with some jet seal on mine. Plan on Ceramic coating it as well.

Will report back with results, hopefully fitment of the splitters won't be an issue with XPEL.

Well, supposedly shipped 10/20 and has yet to arrive at my doorstep. The tracking number is bogus and had been from the start. Will reach out to them for refund if not here by Wednesday.

Not eBay but rather Amazon Prime. Finally purchased a screen protector for the iDrive screen and no regrets - 100% clarity and fit. Was always weary of wiping it down with a dirty MF towel but now i can go to town. Link below. $11 for a piece of mind.

I did get it. Packed very well and the carbon weave and quality is excellent. I haven't installed it yet, going to wait for spring. I'm not sure on fitment because I have a M performance spoiler on currently. From a quick mockup though it looks like it should fit with no issues.

The ambient lighting LED strips are back in stock @ Amazon (prime included). These were out of stock for awhile for those who were looking for them.

Everything lined up and clicked right into place. There is no noticeable sag that I can see, guys take a look for yourselves.

https://ebay.us/IRFDs4

$280 shipped im very happy.

Have gone through 3 different replica diffusers now and this has been the most painless to install and IMO has the best fitment.



Installed:

I just bought this one - also have a Yas F80 and live in CT lol. Will report back on fit and upload some pics. thanks!

Finally received items from JCSportsline via AliExpress:

CS Spoiler: 9.5/10
Carbon weave is very consistent with no distortion even around the edges or grooves. Slight issue in certain areas of the lips border were not smooth (not much of an issue since I just filed it down). Also looks like a corner had a small spot missing clear coating, eh. Test fitted it and still seems to be a slight gap when I press down on the spoiler. Could be due to the cold weather and the lip not being as malleable if it were warmer, or possibly too far or too close to trunk edge? I could also probably replace the tape that was already supplied with thicker 3M if that'd be the solution. Will update after installing.

Rear Splitters: 9.9/10
Carbon weave again was very consistent with nothing weird showing. Nothing wrong with the clear coat. The only slight gripe if there is one is that the inside curved border was rough and definitely needed to be filed down before applying, definitely would have nicked the paint. I have no complaints and obviously no issues with installation.

Front Upper Splitters: 10/10
Same story...perfect weave, no issues with clear coat. The borders of the splitters were smooth and did not need filing. Bought these after seeing another member on this thread buy them from JCSportsline, and no surprises. Test fitted for now (not enough space for me to get in proper between front of car and garage wall) and fits perfectly.

TL;DR - Very much pleased with the products from JCSportsline. Total cost was ~$240 (you'd think shipping costs would be minimized since I ordered all at the same time but nope...separating or grouping items didn't save me anything shipping expense-wise).

for cs spoiler , you should definitely switch to a better 3m tape. had the same exact issue but once i put on the stronger 3m/scotch tape fits like a champ

Thanks for the tip! I took 15 mins trying to figure out if I was placing it wrong on the trunk due to the gap.

It's still perfect, no issues, no blemishes. I'm really happy with it.

Bought this recently and it fits well. The CF weave design is a bit different but still looks great for <$40.

Has anyone here bought one of the aluminum gts/cs style hood?
Wondering if fitment/quality is there. Also, if it uses the factory/non gts hardware.

I bought an ebay 140 dollar spoiler as well and mine looks the same after about a year. Going to sand it and clear coat it.
