ok, two things you may remember that I was one of the people that asked about this a while ago so you know I'm definately interested. I wanted to know if you would be interested in bringing the design to a more euro feel, Something like this


I love how the bimmer guys are taking the full cf trunks and painting all of it except for the tip of the lip, so that the carbon fiber shows through. Also, do you guys have the ability to produce a rear diffuser like the one in the second pic but with a right side single outlet? There is a thread here that discusses the interest in a single outlet rear diffuser, I have the greddy ti-c and would ABSOLUTELY purchase a cf right side exit rear diffuser.
This comparison pic may help, This is my x next to a friends bimmer and the bimmer has a less dramatically angled lip then the blue one above, this may be a more safe bet. Let's continue to try to refine the lines of the x.

I really dont think a rounded spoiler will look good with the body lines of the X. Can someone photoshop the spoiler from the bimmer onto the X?

Basically all I'm asking for is more of a rounded angled look then just the flat one you guys have already. I imagine it with vortex generators as well, but didn't have time to photochop it.

It would be a fill trunk with the spoiler instigated not just the spoiler.

Here are some pics:









Let us know turn around time on this can be a soon as 3 weeks so we are excited to see what you guys think. We are also looking into replicated all the black platic on the exterior in CF but we'll start with this for now.
Where did you get that Spoiler. In my opinion, it looks better then the original 1.

For some reason, this doesnt look as good as the small straight 1. Maybe because the car has more sharp lines then the bimmer?
