Sooooo the only way you can post any pictures of one of these units is if someone buys one but you're making them buy your product without providing any pictures of what they are actually ordering??? Interesting way of offering a product. How do I know what I'm getting without seeing what I'm ordering? I realize that you have two pictures posted of the carbon fiber unit but what about the other two units? Descriptions is hardly enough info for $600 and upwards....at least that's my crazy whacked out opinion.

It's not like it's a permanent mod though... A lot of companies install to R&D, or find someone who's willing to be the guinea pig. I'm surprised no one out that way has offered up their car to be the guinea pig...

He does not even have to install one.. He could just take a photo of the product itself from a couple of different angles so we could get an ideal of what the v3 looks like or any of the others. I run 5 different dealerships between two states, everyone knows what a new beetle looks like, but I take photos of the inside and out to show what that ONE product looks like.

By the way.... if I was not really interested in the part for myself, I wouldn't be giving you guys such a hard time. If anything its free advertising for randy.

It does look really really sick though on the car Still doesn't make sense though why they don't actually show pictures of each of the types so you can get an idea of what it really looks like before dropping all that money.

Version 1, 2, 3, "C" Wing

It is my understanding that V2 will be black gel coat, if you need a different color, just wet sand it and paint it the color of your roof. As soon as V1 and V3 are in production there will be photos from M7. Hope this helps, and be patient, all things good are worth waiting for.

I'm totally psyched to get this part on the car, but first I'm gunning for the CF tunnel diffuser. Are there any pictures around of the CF wing installed (up close & personal)? Thanks M7!

Both units are so similar to the R-56 pieces that from 10 ft away you can't tell them apart. The only real changes are in the mounting systems. If you look on the r-56 thread you will have a real good idea of what is on the way for the R-53. I am still waiting for mine LOL

Sweeeet. Do you guys have an ETA for the CF R53 wing? Lyle (Vinyl Styles) & I are working on matte'ing all chrome or gloss black on my new MCS to matte black. We'll be doing the roof shortly & the wing would be money to finish it off.

We have our R-56 and a R-53 at the composite shop as we speak to help facilitate the final configuration and over come some fitment issues. The section that mounts the roof is a more complicated piece than it looks and we want it as close to perfect as we can get. We fully plan on having these units underneath a few XMAS trees this year.
