Well, I was hoping to be the first T/A to mount it, but what can you do. Living on the other side of the country has it's downsides.
For everyone screaming for more pictures, as soon as I have mine, I'll get it mounted and take some more pictures. I know personally, I'd like to see some pictures further away to get a full perspective of the car front to rear.
Stay tuned.

I'm still not sure how I feel about these. They don't look anything like it, but for some reason it reminds me of the Wings West front lower piece which drives me nuts. I think if I could get one in CF and it could be trimmed back a little to be a little less noticeable it'd be sick.
We could do a CF overlay for you but it would get expensive quick.
I'm still waiting on someone with a local one to test on... I have a design ready to bolt up.

I'm curious as to what the distance is from the top of the splitter to the bottom of the bumper. I know its farther in the front than on the sides. I'm wondering if I could fiberglass it to the bottom of the bumper and paint it to match. I'm guessing fiberglassing around the front would impede airflow to the radiator and my trans cooler in the front pass left.
I think it looks MUCH better than the WW thing because theirs goes down and this is all about going out and forward.

Haven't checked the tracking number recently but it is definitely on its way. Thanks again for pushing to get it to happen... At least I mention in every thread you're the man
Carbon fiber is not a good choice. If you scrape, it unravels and the threads are like shards to the tires...

That's why you need this, to protect your paint and bumper

It would NOT impede airflow if you fiber glassed it on, it is shaped AROUND the air dam...

I know you have a guy water jet these, but if you could PM me a price (if it would be different) to get one, but only about .5" - 1" shorter so it doesn't stick forward as much, just a little less profound if you know what I mean (how much does it stick out normally from the bumper?). If you can quote me a normal one, and a wrapped one that'd be cool. Also I found a company that would do a dip CF style that looks really good so that may be a better route as it would just scuff instead of fray.
CF is like $400 on top of price... I would just have it dipped or CF added locally, to save double shipping (my guy is in NY).

A quick question, is one side smooth and the other side textured? I'm sure you've mentioned that in the past, but there are so many threads, it's hard to keep track of what I've read.

I'm pretty sure that's correct.
Thanks for the props Mark. I'm debating having it color matched when I get my bumper repaired. We'll see.

I really need to see it in person, in those last pictures it sticks out too far for my taste, mark, have you thought of offering them shaved more to fit further underneath?

IT IS RETRACTABLE. Q wrote he has it pretty much FULL FORWARD. You can RETRACT it more but you MIGHT have to trim some plastic off the back to clear tires depending on rim and tire size.
I don't do it because then those who want it full forward will look weird at the back BUT THE HOLES ARE OBLONG so you CAN RETRACT IT and then just cut a little to clean up the back...
