Why thanks!

Sadly, 100kph is 62mph so they have me beat. However, my tune cost $900 and comprises a piggyback and... well, nothing else over stock.

That said, the fastest M8 I see on Dragy's leaderboard (which is a realistic, and now trusted & "shared" measure of performance metrics just like a dragstrip) nailed it in 2.55s but, even then, there's some math(s <-- if you're a Brit or Aussie) to do I guess to compare. Lots of variables in 0-60s, too.

These guys are quoting factory performance numbers against their own dyno numbers--to me, that's a near-guaranteed sign of marketing hype. Dyno it before and after on the same dyno under the same conditions to ensure a level playing field... doing so, though, results in less favorable figures. "Noelle" anyone?

Take a look at Evolve or Burger--and many others--who cite only before and after figures from the same dyno and, typically, same day.

... looks pretty damned good, though!

Yeah, first front bumper treatment for the M8 I have seen. That's just a lip and a CF plate on the center intake? I like it!
Beats that rubber thing we have.

Actually the carbon parts have been out for several months and made by a Russian company. You can find them on IG. Carbon Fiber Art. Got some cool stuff and interesting spoiler

They do the new forged carbon which is pretty cool but felt it would look weird with the carbon roof

You're right. Looks like the same product. Have pics yet?

Didn’t pull the trigger and order any parts. Was thinking only the rear spoiler but need more angles. Not 100 on it yet

I don’t have the oem carbon package and kind of ok without it. Just want a different spoiler. The non carbon is a joke. Not sure why it’s there

Agreed. M8 and 8 series spoilers are so wimpy. The CF M8 spoiler is the only one halfway worthwhile. The Russian one appears to be the same.

This one looks much better:
https://ind-distribution.com/collect...-trunk-spoiler

It doesn't list M8 compatibility but I think the trunks are the same between the G15 & F92. Would need to be confirmed...

I have to say I agree, the non-CF spoiler is a bit meh. The CF one, though, I think is great—subtle, but enough... enhanced by the kink in the middle.

It's all about looks anyway

It's not like we really need the spoiler for downforce (or lack thereof due to its puny size).

But you're right, if ours would have the CF spoiler size/shape I would never bother looking at anything else.
