Fitment for me is good, the small gap up top isn't as big as the one on that aw pic

Here's some pics hope it helps

If it doesn't wrap around won't it expose the paint at the front edge where it curves down? Or if I looked at it from a lower angle won't the lower side show the car color?

Yes , it will expose all the uncovered side and bottom at certain angles. I guess some folks dont mind that look. But since mine was originally wrapped with Vinyl, I decided to keep the vinyl to avoid exposing the sides. Carbon Axent has 1x1... Which is the only reason why I got it. There are other options... Ehronius has the wrap around from Ebay. His came out pretty good if you want 2x2 version.

I believe there's a link already posted earlier on this thread. Do a search on ebay. You will find it easily.

Overall, Great product. Good quality weave on these particular pieces... Comes in 1x1 and 2x2 weave. Good fitment. Easy to install, but i wished it came pre-taped. Note: Product didn't come painted... I got that CRT style paint done elsewhere. Also, note that these overlays are only for the front part of the upper splitters and does not wrap all the way around bottom and sides unlike the ones you find on Ebay. (I have existing black vinyl wrap under it that i decided to keep so you cant tell on my pics below.)

I just got these installed and for what they are I am satisfied. Fits great and looks good, only flaw is its kind of thin and flimsy. At this price point it's a great trade off and I'm pretty anal about my car.

I was pretty much talked into buying Sterckenn covers or whatever they call it mainly because of the quality. Also, their products are not just copies of the bumper but have an extra lip extended on the corner which I liked a lot to be honest.

Guys from the company sent me bunch of shots which had impact on my decision.

They are expensive but my M4 ain't cheap either. I like quality on my car...Considering getting the front splitter from them. I will do a write up if I will buy it.


Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Not to thread-jack, but can somebody tell me what lip that is? I'm looking for something low-key like this one, for my ZCP.

I park in a basement and need all the front ground clearance I can get.

How is the fitment? I have Xpel over my front bumper, will that extra bulk make the accents not fit properly?

[rx8wanki]

Just installed the Ebay Canards and Im pretty happy with them.
Fitment is not 100% but at least 95%
But my OEM Performance Carbon Fibre Front Lip is also at 95%

Check out my new look

I have xpel also and you should be okay because the piece is fairly thin.
