Fiberglass erebuni or carbon fiber chin spolier?

I'm kinda torn between these two things, the erebuni I like because it also has a rear piece, but it's fiberglass, and would have to be careful around speed bumps, etc...but the same can be said for the carbon fiber I suppose. and what color would the erebuni pieces need to be painted to go with the car? a matte black? Maybe? To match the black trim? They're roughly the same price for each, so I'm not sure where I want to go, but this is probably the extent of my exterior modifications for a while (other than wheels and the orciari vent scoops) so I want to make sure I make the right decision.

these are a NiCE touch for the mini i will be gettin' the rear diffuser from erebuni i allready have the front splitter but its from HAMANN.....im havin' mine painted flat black/dark grey in the bottom & body coloured on the top
u will have to be crefull w/both the CF unit and the fiberglass unit the CF is an overlay so it may be a little stronger

I like the rear diffuser and the carbon fiber splitter. I just found that splitter yesterday when I was searching for others besides M7 and Hamann. I really like it.

btw, What are the prices of these front splitters? I know the price of the Hamann one is outrageous.

(I looked on worldoneperformance, but didn't find it)

helix sells the front splitter for 275...but it doesnt come with the things shown in the picture from worldoneperformance, that attach from the splitter to the bumper.

the erebuni stuff goes for 429 on their site for both pieces, I found it somewhere for about 300 I think, I'm having troubles finding it now...

i dunno, maybe it's just me, but a front splitter for over $300 is way too much for something that is so easily to get destroyed, especially in my city (pothole central)

I have the M7 splitter... don't know if you got a good look at it in Apex. It is fiberglass w/ cf overlay. The fiberglass allows it to flex while a solid cf piece could break apart when the first rock hits.

Here's a nice long thread about splitters & cf vs fiberglass, https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=54637

No, but I'll go snap a couple in a few minutes. Its not as pretty as the cf one you are looking at, but it is probably more durable in real world driving conditions.

Has the rear diffuser been tested to provide any aero advantages?
