Anyone have Darwin PRO or Maxton Designs body kits?

You guys think an M3P needs to be lowered to pull off the maxton lip and side skirts? The performance sits a little lower and is running 20s.

I have the Maxton Design, you can install it at home. There are no predrilled holes or 3M tape so you will have to mount and dismount a couple of time to decide where you want to drill. I like the rear diffuser, I don’t think pictures do it any justice.

Looking at the maxton splitter and side skirts for my MSM M3P. Struggling with color. I think the shiny black looks best but I have a CF spoiler. Think it will clash? The Maxton fake CF looks kind of cheap.

I think Maxton's "CF-look" looks way better than those dipped components you see on eBay. When I order my kit, I'm going for the CF-look.

Yes. I really don't want to lower it because of all the potholes and frost heaves and unpaved roads by me. Especially if I put the front splitter on...
Very helpful. I think it looks great at stock height. My car is MSM. Still debating whether CF or gloss black. Gloss may clash too much with the matte blackout trim and CF spoiler.

Looks great. Keep wondering how it will look on a car that’s not lowered. Is yours a performance model? Do you have an oem CF spoiler on there?

Amazon CF Spoiler (real). Farmogo model. Looks great, and it's got a slightly different profile than stock, (extends farther out and up)

Interested in the rear diffuser. Do you mind taking another pic in better lighting? The shadows cover it up too much.

I think you'd need the whole kit if you want the diffuser. I can try to take some pics tomorrow, though it's tough to photograph black parts in general, especially on white or silver.

The kit on the yellow looks straight doo doo


Only thing that looks somewhat decent is the diffuser

Performance sits like .7 lower which is still high


Side skirts do nothing anyway so just lower without adding them

I ordered the V1 Maxton front lip since I like the simple oem plus look. I’ve got a white 3 also and plan on lowering with a different set of wheels. I’m hoping to have this all together when it’s a little warmer in April.
