This is amazing. I so want this for my V6. Do you mind sharing how much this ran you? I am guessing the lead time was a combination of time material and other projects in ACP's schedule?

Thanks! Did you have to remove the jaguar badging when you gave the company the shell?

You would not have to remove the badge now that the mould is created. I suppose you could reuse the logo, however, a new setup is so cheap, about 50.00 bucks and super easy to apply. ACP moulded the badge locating holes and drilled them out to match the oem setup. But, yes, I removed logo and split the clam shell so ACP had a base top shell to mould. Again this is a moulded new piece of CF, not a wrap.

the price of the deployable splitter from ACP is $475.00 with clear coat

add the cost of new jaguar logo and about 1-2 hours of your time and you are good to go. Glad to pass along contact for acp or pm me!

Is the vert spoiler two piece like coupe? I will take a look at dealer when i get a moment and see how much to mould and make. Of course, it always helps of we can find a few to group buy.

I was asked if ACP makes other f-type bits. No, this was the only part I set them up to fabricate. There are plenty of parts available form Mina and others. The coupe spoiler seemed like a viable item as a true CF part seemed unobtainable. ACP makes full CF bodies for the Trans-AM series, .. mustangs,camaro, vettes and CTS. Jag is not in their wheel house except for what I swayed them to make for me. The spoiler is 475.00 plus postage or you can send your complete spoiler in, have it split, reassembled with the CF wing for another 325.00 which includes installing a new Jag oem emblem. Removing the spoiler is removing 4 torx head bolts from the open position. But, it really is not a high tech job such that you could not do it yourself.

Sites like ExoticCarGear can skin your existing vert spoiler in carbon fiber. If you want a true CF replica, a custom d&b will be more expensive.

That spoiler looks good, but it is sitting way high both sides and needs some major adjustment!
As I have posted elsewhere, have a play with the springy things ("protuberances") each side, maybe they need to be screwed in (a lot!).
