NEW | RSS CarbonAero Components for 991 GT3/RS | In Stock!
http://roadsportsupply.com/rss-carbonaero/

RSS CarbonAero Components were conceptualized as a subtle extension of the 991 GT3 form. The visually appealing qualities of carbon fiber/fibre combined with functional aspects of each individual component create an aggressive yet restrained aesthetic.



RSS partnered with a composite engineering specialist experienced in aeronautic, military, and motorsport (Arrows F1) composite manufacturing and design to create the RSS CarbonAero Product Line.

IMO...the RSS dive planes are by far the most aesthetically pleasing and flow best with the lines of the car... BUT....this mod is about PERFORMANCE.
That said...I'm having a hard time with the price point of these pieces. They are way beyond the current market.
So, while they are the best looking...without any data to show how they perform and further considering their high price point, I can't justify it.
Best of luck. I hope you guys can get some real world data on performance and maybe adjust your pricing to be more in line with the market. Apologies if I'm off base here.

Totally agree Phil. Until it can be proven they are going to make me quicker on track Im not interested even at half the price (would rather buy a set of tyres). The parts look nice, no doubt but I could 3D print them in poly resin for a fraction of the price and have them painted...

This is a common mistake small businesses make.

Instead of evaluating the market and deciding on a price point that will move units then working backwards into their cost and then adding their margin ('cost plus') they build the product and mark it up and end up way over the current pricing models. So now they have a beautiful product that won't sell (very much).
Meanwhile, you've got other companies selling a product that is proven to work and it's less than 40% of the cost of these pieces.

It's a shame...I like to see small businesses be successful.

Needless to say I'm ordering one of the uglier options on the market. But with proven results and a reasonable price point, that's where my dollars are going.

Truly...best of luck to RSS.

Thanks for the kind words, we have been giving the GT4 some strong consideration due to the requests and popularity of the car. It would certainly add to our existing RSS Gt4 Suspension and Harness Bar offerings!

Thank you for the compliment...I think. We understand that the price point may not be for everyone. No apology needed, everyone has an opinion and we respect that.
