The CFRP versions are really only available if you find some guy in states sell his/hers used. I think there is about 4 or 5 stateside, brought over originally by J-onDemand.

The only thing we can offer is the Seibon Carbon version or the Voltex FRP version.

I just need to express something. I see a lot of people saying their Voltex kits are "flimsy" like it's a bad thing. You bought genuine RACE CAR AERO PARTS. Real race aero parts are not thick and heavy, they should be lightweight and flexible. On a race car they only need to be rigid enough not to buckle under wind resistance. Thick, heavy, and stiff composites break when impacted. Thin and flexible ones do not. So before you all go thinkingyour kit is "flimsy" and you wish it were thicker, keep that in mind. If you still think your Voltex aero parts should be thicker, you're a poseur who is buying race car parts for a street car and don't know the true characteristics of race body parts.

So if you personally sold me a pair of flip flops and I went to try to climb Mount Everest in them, and got my feet amputated from frostbite and I blamed you saying they are too flimsy, your opinion would make me right?

you chose to buy it knowing full well that the parts(flip flops) could have been flimpsy. The fact that they are is your right to complain its not going to change the fact that they already have your money and no refunds but its still your right to complain. btw sorry about your feet LOL

You completely missed my point and I never said they "dont have the right to complain." My point is, what could be perceived as "flimsiness" is actually flexibility which = strength, compared the "solidity/rigidity" which = CRACK. this is why I have spent a lot of money on aero parts from companies like GP Sports, besides the fitment, it's the quality of the material used and the thinner design, as opposed to thick, heavy fiberglass.

did not miss your point at all. I understand why they are so called flimpsy you stated in your first rant why its is suppose to be like that and people that are complaining are posers. i like fiberglass kits i never had any issues with all the kits i have owned. I have used it all lol but nothing wrong with the flimpsnesss. long as it looks good does its intended used for the owner is all that matters whatever that may be.

I think people are complaining because voltex parts need more support than oem since they are thinner material and lighter. You can make them strong you just have to use all the supports that voltex sends out.
