What's the realistic gains with this setup?

Gain on the exhaust? RaceChip? Lowering? Or the Spacer?

Performance power parts gains.

Only the RaceChip then.
About +100hp at the crank.
Akrapovic exhaust and intake are mainly just for the sound.
If there is power gain, would be very about 10-15hp at the crank.

The M8 GC is long in the beak for sure.... and I love that front lip; fixes that drop off nose.

Did you paint your wheels black or those are standart M8 wheels?

I got mine thru r33_RGSport and its made by Maxton Design (UK company). When I got mine, there was no GC M8 product so we got the M850 GC lip and made some minor no visible cuts to make it fit. Its so cheap that I frankly didnt care what happened to it. But the quality and durability is pretty damn good and even better when you see the pricing:

The M8 GC items are not ready yet so you could do what I did and an tech with some skill will be able to fit it.

That V.3 for the M8 is looking good... looks like there's no love for the f92, but from what I could see in the parts diagrams, f92 and f93 are identical up front (8' F92 M8 M8 M Trim, front and 8' F93 M8 M8 M Trim, front), so it should be fine once they come around.

The F92 and F93 have the same front fascia as you said so you could essentially just do what I did... its not really a hack but 3 minutes of cutting behind the scenes and no one can tell.

At 200 bucks its worth the cut.

The beast and the cub- although there are few cubs running low 10's already on JB4s and gas.

Been looking at Maxton but the M8 one won't be released until December. I will order the V3 that is available now (M850) and hopefully the people I got can cut it to fit my car.

Will report back once is done.

Wondering if the Maxton side skirts are the same for M8 and M850?
Vic55 Do you know?

One of my favorite Sunday afternoon watering holes.

The cerium gray elimination/CF retrofit continues. Rear is complete (CF mirrors and side inlets also but don't have pictures of those yet due to rain)

Also, ISTA is totally wrong about two clips on the mirror caps. There's a third plus the LED turn indicator is connected. Beware if you decide to take it on, although it wasn't bad as it's just a few more screws to undo and separate the trim ring and mirror motor.

'Cane · 09-21-2021, 05:55 PM

I probably should have gotten a pic, but I sold my M8 this afternoon (my friend runs a Maserati dealership and he gave me a really fair deal) and they took it away before I could snap a pic.

Anyway, on to the next, whatever that may be.

Wow!!! Looks great, 22" how's the ride quality?

MELLOWYELLOW06 · 09-21-2021, 09:05 PM

Thank you.

Surprisingly enough, it feels fine.

I drive more careful looking for hazards but it feels fine. And it doesn't look out of place, at least not in my eyes.
