I was the very first customer to order the full Impul kit from Bulletproof Automotive. It should take between 8-16 weeks for delivery from Japan!

For those prices, the fit and finish on that kit better be as perfect as if it had come from Infiniti.

Unless I'm mistaken FRP = Fiber-Reinforced Plastic. Whether Corvettes or the space shuttle is made of them isn't relevant to me as a consumer. It's a much cheaper material than Urethatne, and which is better is a matter of personal opinion. I prefer urethatne personally. What's certain is that urethane is a much more expensive material to produce and therefore urethane parts typically cost more than plastic ones somewhat justifying the exhorbitant cost. I actually like the lip and sides; I'll keep my own factory spoiler because it looks much better. Not really sure about the rear yet, not feeling it.

Maybe you would also like to know I have it in my warehouse, should be able to get it on the next container... can't wait to see it again as the demo car in Tokyo was incredible!

Hard to find a good body shop that will even touch non-authentic/knock-off, so much work involved, and the price was always a shock to customers when the work was done.. imo... had my own body shop for awhile.

So... does the rear Spoiler come pre-painted or raw?

The Impul kit and prices that have been mentioned in this thread are for non-painted. I never recommend buying an aftermarket item painted as not every shade of your color code is the same, lots of environmental factors. For best paint matching to your car, always better to have a professional do it right from scratch.
