Where to buy exotic tuning front carbon lips?

I've seen a few people with exotic tuning parts on their cars in the US and I was wondering where they actually bought them. The company's only online presence seems to be a facebook page and I can't find anyone that sells their products.

Looking to buy these specifically.





Thanks.

The front lip on the AW reminds me of the Challenge piece.

Challenge peice slopes down which is actually worse for aerodynamics (ive worked for a formula racing team and aero tuning is one of my specialties) and IMO looks worse.

Our lip was originally inspired by the BMW M3 GTS lip program which has proven to have shown some good gains in downforce. We also didn't want to ignore style in the equation as 99% of the time these cars are street driven. The design and cosmetic appeal will always very from customer to customer. We did consult a number of race teams and other engineers when designing this item. When one of our customers took our lip to a wind tunnel and compared the GT4 front lip that has more of a vertical air dam, The staff commented that our lip actually moved the air better than the GT4 was.

A few other pro race teams have also tested our lip also in recent months. Currently every BMW M3 in World Challenge competition is now using our lip, or a variation of it combined with our undertray or a spec version of it.

This company's design looks pretty nice overall though and should act as a functional piece of aero as long as the splitter angles are all correct and has a rigid composite structure

rennspec has a stellar reputation so they are doing just fine because those who know, know to go to rennspec to get what they need, dont really need to be advertised. That and Simon has more customers than just M3s, more Ferrari and Porsche. Ive been a customer with Simon since 2005, for a reason.
