Default 9ff Body Kit

Hi Guys,

I bought a spoiler kit from 9ff and would like to consult if anyone else has bought it and if it was the same ..

I found that they are made up of fiber glass composite and are very flimsy ..

attached are the photo on their website and another of what I received ..

Side Skirts 980 Euro
+ 19% Tax
+ 970 Euro for Shipping from Germany to Bahrain
= 3660 Euro

I'm so pissed off the quality that 'm seriously thinking of copying them and make them stronger and selling them for fraction of the cost... I have someone that can do that for me locally

I am no 9ff fan. Tried to work with the owner for supplying eRam kits in Germany, arrogant doesn't begin to describe him.

If I were you, I would waste no time in sending kchu221 a pm to find out what he would offer you for the kit.

They look like they will last for a short period then crack into pieces

In case you didn't manage to work it out, you, and they, are targeting markets that do not even remotely overlap. (Please take that statement as face value and don't try to think that I'm trying to say one group is more relevant than the other, even if I fall more into one than the other.)

BTW, curious, did you get TÜV approval for the eRam? I feel like that would be a real selling point, even state-side.

Get the aero lip for a 997 off eBay for $100 and call it a day. Let's face it this is a disposable item and I could care less.

No doubt tho, I do like the 9ff design it's just too expensive

For that much money do a gt2rs front bumper conversion if you really want downforce

+1, that's how I'm driving around these days, even if it does make the break-over that much worse. (Just don't paint it on a daily driver. turbofever: not sure how you do it in SF. Rush hour in china town is rough, even if I only do it a couple days each year.)

The price of exclusivity is, by definition, atrocious.

Thanks for the advise and suggestions,, unfortunately they are a bit late..
I've already bought the damn thing and cannot retune it back since the packaging was damaged...

With some modifications to strengthening it up I might make it last a bit longer
