Rear CF bumper corner, what do you think of these?

Very intriguing, what do you guys think of these? From the picture, they don't look to flare out as wide as the OEM ones

I actually like that its not flared out as much. What do you think about the price? To be honest I dont like the rear bumper arches at all. I wonder what the car looks like without them?

Those are awesome! Price is right too. I may have to get some—
Did you pick some up? Curious about fitment and quality.

Not sure if anyone has noticed but looks like the fitment is off. See the area where it meets the wheel arc.

Good catch. I can see what you're saying. I wonder if anyone on the forum has purchased yet. Would be great to get their review.

Why do you keep putting Ebay/knock off stuff on your 80k plus car?

No, I am still thinking about it, I got the knock off M Performance front lip and the fitment was perfect, I would assume these would be similar.
The reason I haven't gotten them, I think it would be weird looking if I have the front and the rear in CF while the side skirt skill in black gloss so I am waiting on CF side skirt options

Because, I do not see the difference between these and the ones that more well known vendors are selling. I am not going to point out any vendor but I ordered a CF part from a well known vendor and the part came from China which I found on AliExpress/Ebay/Amazon selling the similar part if not the same and cost half the price. Also, I tried the "ebay" (Amazon) version of the front lip, it looked identical to the actual OEM (perfect fitment) - real dry carbon 1x1 weave and 1/3 the price... so why not? I would not get them if they are cheesy or not well made, and I don't mind to pay premium but I truly believe most/some of these CF parts came from the same source in China.

I know what you mean.
The rear winglets and side skirts will be the only non carbon parts on mine too.

Many of them are drop shipped and rebranded from China.
I try to go all OEM. In fact all of my stuff on my incoming G80 will be OEM…
I'm open to cheaper options for the side skirts and rear winglets (the only gloss black parts I'll have left).
I strongly dislike the rear M performance winglets and actually prefer the shape of these knock off ones. Hopefully some good options (price and fitment will be available soon).
