How low is your car? Or are the speed bumps really high?

Two of the speed bumps are particularly large (and I have to run over one in each direction). My car was ~26" to the fender lip when on 245/45/17's but moving to 255/40/17's will have lowered it a little bit more.

Ever since I moved onto these tires, I now have to take them at the right angle otherwise the stock bumper scrapes, at any speed. I'm thinking that when my lease runs out, I'm going to try and find a place with a garage again.

Just ordered some brake rotors. They sell a lot of AutoExe parts. They make front/rear strut bars, exhaust, midpipes and the front bumper for the 8. There could be other products that I'm not aware of as well.

No need to make huge speed bumps either. How much time left on your lease?

From their blog:

To celebrate our new showroom, we’ll be offering a 5% discount on all CorkSport products that are ordered and picked up at our location here in Vancouver, WA. As many of our products are configurable, we generally package to ship -so the only stipulation of this discount is that configurable products should be called-in in advance to allow us to build them out (30 minutes or so is all we need). Call us at 360-260-2675 to queue up your order. Offer ends April 15th!

We look forward to meeting with you and seeing your cars. Remember to tell us about your product ideas and the parts you’re looking for that aren’t on the market yet when you visit.


Less than 3 miles from me and I've only been in there once.

I really need to start saving away for car stuff. I've had warped brake rotors for well over a year now. Unemployed roommates suck!

Do these come painted? I was assuming it was standard gel coat, i think that is what is listed on their site. If its painted for 650$ i may have to go pick one of these up soon, that's a steal.

Checked with Derrick at CorkSport and they are not painted. They are white gel coated. They unfortunately don't have the means to paint them either. Added cost of painting is pretty standard for most body kits though.

Does anybody have the corksport MS style front bumper? How's the quality and durability of the FRP? I wish it was PU

I do not know anyone other then CS that has it but I have seen their car in person several times and the fitment looks good. No idea what they had to do to get it to fit though. If I were to buy a replica it would be theirs.

BTW did you notice their bumper does not have corner lights? IMO it looks better without them but something you should be aware of before ordering.

I'm starting to like the bumpers with no corners at all. If I were to repaint my stock bumper I'd have the corners filled in

Ya I did notice that it's got sidemarker delete. I just don't kno how I feel about the FRP. Really wish I could get my hands on an authentic ms. Can't find anybody who will ship them though or who even has them available.

So now I'm considering going with the shine auto autobahn replica. At least its hybrid FRP and I've seen lots of good reviews on fitment and quality
