Will have a photo up today

Nate@IND · 10-16-2013, 04:37 PM

Quick update on the RKP M5 "McRae" splitters. For comparison we placed the OEM BMW E9x M3 carbon splitter in the photos. Let me know what you guys think

(Keep in mind this is a rough prototype and we will update this thread as the project moves along)

Neil McRae · 10-16-2013, 04:41 PM

looks great Nate! thanks! - will it go all the way back to the black duct on the bumper?

Correct it will go all the way to the back to the ducting on the bumper.

Neil McRae · 10-16-2013, 04:49 PM

excellent, would be good to see a pic on a bumper but from that shot looks spot on.

as long as it goes all the way back and goes around bottom part of the bumper as on m3, looks GOOD

how long you reckon it will take you to finalize and start producing it? cause i want to order few bits and pieces from you all in 1 go !!

avlnch · 10-16-2013, 06:59 PM

Thanks for bringing this to market Nate. Progress looks very good thus far.

A photo of the mockups on the front bumper would be great to better visualize fitment.

What weave type/size will they be available in?

Will be just like the M3 set.

I don't want to set a date yet since we want to make sure fitments are 100% perfect just like the RKP lip for the M5.

We will post installed shots before production starts. Carbon weaves will be a 1x1 and 2x2.

will it be before NY ? if not i think i will order other bits i want sooner

jbomb · 10-17-2013, 02:34 AM

As the others have said looks perfect at this stage. As more pics and details emerge we can then offer more feedback. Great work.

any news? thanks

Neil McRae · 10-25-2013, 01:29 AM

can't wait for these now

jbomb · 10-25-2013, 02:59 AM

Could you pop the proto above on an M5 (literally placed on the car), would love to get a feel for how it will look.
Might be a useful exercise before you guys commit any further in the production process.

jbomb · 10-30-2013, 03:28 PM

What's next steps for this?

Building the master molds right now. We are getting close.

Neil McRae · 10-30-2013, 03:58 PM

w00t!

dhirm5 · 10-30-2013, 04:01 PM

How do these attach - any screws needed in stock parts or can it be done with clips and sticky tape?

3M tape pre installed plus the splitters use 3x OEM mounting points under the OEM bumper cover. We designed the splitters so that there is no drilling or adhesive needed
