Any news on the progress?

I love my car.
NIB ACS splitters are on their way to me, should have them 1-2 weeks.
I've already spoken to the guy who will be making the molds for me, showed him a few pics, he's got a great window of time to do these, so as soon as i get him the parts, things should move along pretty quickly
Are these being sold at cost? What kind of money are we talking here? What did you decide they will be molded with? Thanks Good Luck!
"Dezmar, your hood has an airfoil. The scoop is raised and it forms an airplanes airfoil. This knocks out the top atoms and allows the bottom atoms to Lift!! You will loose your hood on the highway and hit another car, causing it to crash and someone will Die! (I took it off)"
I am unsure of cost as of now; my initial estimates were probably a bit low considering the amount of material necessary (but I think worst-case scenario would still easily be under $300)
They'll be WAY cheaper than the originals, that's for sure, and they'll be solid plastic, so as close to the real deal as possible.

saweeet sign me up lol
I made a little calculation error or should I say my Thai connection made a calculation error...the splitters are $290 plus shipping...to you guys in the states $124 (shipping) so total is $414 so good luck with the project and if it falls through (which I hope it doesn't because you guys are great) then contact nvdautosport.com
sorry bro, yesterday was my lucky day...got a pair of ACS splitters and the roof spoiler...it was a good deal apparently.

Yeah I fessed up in the other thread too....thanks brother...to be honest, I always thought the M coupe didn't need anything added, but the more I saw different ones on the forum, the more I got interested in the splitters and the roof spoiler even though im not a big fan of rear spoilers, but this one seems to off-set the dramatic drop off of the silhouette (man that sounded too poetic)...
I really am impressed with 2000mkoop's thread and I am gonna promote it amongst as many M coupe owners that I know who are not on the forum.

come across this thread
feel really interested in that
looking forward to the final product
but would that fit non-M Z3?
i think non-M Z3 need it more than a M

any updates?
Not much to report, I'm guessing I'll see the splitters next week, and at that point everything will move along pretty quickly.
Also, while picking up some mold-making supplies for work-related prototypes, I checked out the specs of some different materials; There are a few that I haven't tried before that could work out quite well (one has really high tear/impact-resistance, and has some nice flex to it)
So when the molds get made, i'll likely try out a few materials, test them out, share the results...maybe have a few purchase options, as the higher-end resins will cost more.
I am in the market for a T1 roof spoiler...any ideas?

What's a T1 roof spoiler?
apparently ACS made a T1 (below) and a T2 which is what I bought on ebay. given I just got another M Coupe thought I would differentiate a bit...anyway here is the link:

T1 looks so much better... Just IMHO

Very interesting. Subscribed
Yes I agree but first things first... now back to the splitters.Originally Posted by 2000mkoop

I've got a sample of one of the materials I'm considering, pretty tough stuff
Specs:
Shore Hardness: 80D
Tensile Strength: 11,850 psi
edit: Also, the material is clear, but can be died to any color. I was thinking black? (and no, I'm not going to custom-dye the plastic to match your car...so don't ask )

first splitters, next spoilers ACS but type II
Ok, I got my 2nd M Coupe today and I am definitely in for the splitters...and the T1, but if we wait too long, I might just have to go with the Thai option on the splitters and the UK option on the TII
