Aeroflowdynamics Side Skirt Extensions

In the market for some side skirt extensions and saw these on instagram. Price is great. What do you guys think? Their carbon fiber looks pretty sweet.

They look a tiny bit too "blade-like" for my tastes. I feel like the other side skirts have a little more volume to them. Forcewerkz also makes a CF side blade that is similar priced

After shipping the Forcewerkz are $600, the Aeroflow are $299 incl shipping.

That said, the Forcewerkz product looks good, especially considering the 1x1 weave matches our roof CF.

Gotcha. Hmmm. If they're still as thin looking as the aluminum ones, I'd pick the Forcewerkz due to the thicker look.

Do you have any photos of the forcewerkz installed? Was it a pretty easy install? I just bought a set.

Its been raining cats and dogs so don't have any close up pics of them right now. I got one here I'll post. Gonna try to clean my car tomorrow after work if I get off at a decent time and take better pics. They look great on! As far as installation goes I had the BMW dealership install mine. There were no instructions and it only comes with like 4 support screws and no 3M tape or anything. I had them reinforce it with 3M tape they had there. Otherwise I don't think they had too many problems with it.

Those look nice and subtle. How much were they if you don't mind me asking? And can you post a side view picture?

Car looks excellent. Can't wait to put mine on when car arrives in Jan. Pretty much have the same setup as yours. Going to be adding mode carbon spoiler and diffuser to the rear.

Get the "M4 style" spoiler they make. It looks siiiiiiiiiiiick! I think if I could go back I would have done this with mine instead of the M performance piece I have

Yeah that's the one I am getting from Mode Carbon along with the R2 diffuser. Still deciding if I want to do the CF mirror caps

I dunno man. The JL Motoring side extensions for the F80 literally looks like someone with Parkinson's cut the template. The angles and cuts make no sense. The ones for the F82 looks fine; what happened with the F80?
