Nice to see something new, but I don't thing the front flows well enough, specifically the flares on the edges.

Personally not a fan since the i8 was designed to be aerodynamic and curvy whereas this addition clashes with that design theme from an aesthetic point of view

Guys, I know how hard it is to create a new product. So thumbs up for trying but I feel like it doesn't look as flush or clean as it should. You should post pictures from different angels. Also the silver color kit on a black and red car is making it too obvious.

It's not for me but good that people are creating aftermarket options for the i8.

But, the front of the i8 looks like it already has a splitter built into the design, why add another? I'm sure BMW engineers know all about splitters and spent an awful lot of time in a wind-tunnel testing for the best effect.
If you want to change the looks and like it then fine, why not?

The only thing I'd really consider is a little spoiler on the back between the wings that wrap round - probably mess with the aerodynamics though.

Agreed. And maybe a rear diffuser to add more aggressive styling to the back.

I feel like Nissan would approve, but I do not.

Meh. Makes it look like a slot car.
