Would IND make, and the community be interested in, a gloss black trunk spoiler with the same dimensions as the carbon fiber M Performance trunk spoiler? I know I would. While $550 is less than my dealer is quoting me, a gloss black version to match the mirror covers--that likely would also be significantly more cost effective--interests me a lot!

Is the quality on par with IND/MP??? Doubtful; However, for the price differential I am willing to take a chance, with certain products...

I picked up a pair of CF mirror caps off Ali Express. $66 shipped. Fits great. Looks OEM. Durability? I don't really care. They were 1/8th the price of the MP ones...

iND parts for Canada

Is it just me or none of these shipping options make sense ? What to think about those from USPS that are usually the cheapest (probably an error I guess)...

Nate, what is the RKP spoiler? Is it higher than the regular carbon spoiler on your site?

Thanks!

I'm only a fan if it's all carbon or gloss black.

If carbon grills come out,I'm going that route. If not,gloss black would look amazing.

I am interested to see a GT spoiler similar to the M4's, but specifically made for the M2. Something along the line of the spoiler on the M2 safety car!

IND already do CF grilles for the M2, unless I missed something?

Honestly don't know if the weave matches other OEM CF bits and pieces, as I have no other CF exterior parts. Obviously doesn't really match the interior parts, as they are open weave..

Fitment- more than acceptable. Driver's side is perfect. Passenger side has the tiniest misalignment/uneveness/gap, that I am certain noone will notice.

No regrets in the purchase. I'd say 9/10 fitment (YMMV). I think that's one of the biggest differences between OEM vs knockoff parts; knockoffs can be hit or miss. I may have just lucked out. Again, at this price point, I can buy a new pair every year for the next 9 years

Let's take this idea to the next level: a full gloss back M Aero Package. Gloss black front and side winglets packaged with a gloss black rear trunk spoiler! Come on IND, lets make it happen!
