Anyone tell me how well the carbon lower splitters and hockey sticks look and fit from rainbird, I'm going to be ordering a grill so thought about getting the lot at once?

This is my experience, they look nice when they're on but don't expect to just put them straight on like the originals, I had to bugger around with mine quite a lot before they fitted. Basically I had to make virtually all of the holes a lot bigger because they weren't in the right places, and I had to cut a piece off both ends of the stone deflector so it would fit up against the bumper properly. They look great now, but it took me nearly a day to get them how I wanted them. If you're handy with a drill, a saw and a file you'll be fine though. I'll see if I can dig out a pic, because they do look great when you do get them sorted. And they won't ripple like the originals.

Here you go. I went for the matt finish this time, I had the gloss finish on my previous car. As you can see it looks great now, well I think so anyway.

I've got one, surprisingly its still in one piece. I've got a brand new spare for the day it does break though, as the delivery times are sometimes a bit long. Also got grill and Morette covers on mine.

You do have to drill the holes, which I was abit worried about. I just clamped myne to the bumper with g clamps and drilled the holes think it took about 3 hours.

There is an order to the way the stone deflector has to be bolted up, otherwise the holes do not line up. It is IMPERATIVE that you start in the middle and the gradually work outwards. If you do this, then it should fit fine. If you start from the outside and work in, you will have problems with holes not lining up, as the stone deflector wont flex sufficiently if done in that order.

Regarding the lead time, unfortunately he is currently swamped with orders and there are only two of them making things, so he is struggling. I am now advising everyone that there is a minimum of 6-7 week lead time .
