One of the best looking kits out there. But I’m not happy with the material choices and the price, especially the cf overlay version. Are those pieces molded in those pics? Do you have individual pics of the kit? For those questioning why the cf is heavier. It’s probably because they’re not full CF. They’re CF overlay on fiberglass....seems pretty pricey for not being full CF. The Vorsteiner in comparison I believe is full CF.
I didn't want to say it but I have to agree...it's definitely expensive. For the price, I would expect a full front/rear bumper replacement like UP's Ascension or better build material like you said. It's especially difficult to justify the extra $2500 for CFRP with no improvement in weight or durability over FRP. With that said, this is still by far my favorite full kit for the Model 3. Artisan Spirits did a great job aesthetically by balancing classy and aggressive. And I appreciate @EVStuning for atleast offering a group buy discount. I'm still on the fence due to cost. I usually don't mind paying for quality as long as it makes sense.
Well since you’re leaving it unpainted then carbon fiber makes sense for you. As for me, I’m gonna wrap most of the pieces in satin gray to match my car. I do want some sections to be carbon fiber so I’ll just use a matte carbon fiber vinyl to wrap those parts.
Anyway to take the Trunk Spoiler off and bumper garnish and still get a GB price? I really only want front, rear and sides....
@EVStuning Any way we can do the group buy without the bumper garnish? It would help lower the overall cost of the kit.
Nice to know that it's possible to have it shipped directly from Japan to Europe, thanks! I'm still not ready to order though, still saving money for this. Was just wondering if it would be possible. Once I'm ready for it, I'll be sure to contact you! What about my 2nd question, tow hitch still accessible with that rear diffuser attached? And as some others have asked, any more pictures of the body kit in carbon fiber? That's probably the one I'd go for once I've saved up enough money.
yes will call option will be available from our location in Santa Fe Springs, CA i currently don't have any unpainted versions without the carbon overlay available for pictures. i'll post them when i do.
this is a new kit, only 1 set was made in CFRP so far for the promo car. i just took a couple orders so more will be made and i'll get some better pictures then. What exactly is it you need to see though? i have other Artisan kits here for right now. Is there something specific you need a picture of?
