It's very hard to say if these parts were tested for functionality. If you're asking if WE tested parts for functionality, then the answer is, "no." Whether or not the original developers tested for functionality, I don't know. However, these parts are often seen on their track cars. Usually with front bumpers, most are designed to give intercoolers and brakes air flow. Sideskirts help control the airflow underneath the car, hence providing underbody downforce. Most front lips have two holes to help air travel to the front brakes.

Most of these parts we designed for how it "looks." However, I wouldt say they're completely non functional. I'm sure most of these parts were not tested for functionality but you can sort of see how air can be directed by the design of the parts. Aero bumpers offer an alternative to OEM by being lighter, have increased air channels to aid intercooler and cooling of brakes.

I hope I've answered your question.

you guys make such nice fiberglass parts, is there any chance you will make a blockoff plate or gauge pod for the emergency light cluster on the top center of the dash of FC's?
Hey there....thanks for the suggestion. It doesn't look like we'll be working on anything like that anytime soon. We mostly specialize in exterior body parts.

I'm not too sure on that one. I thought the only thing different between the s4 rer bumper and the s5 rear bumper was the molding. If that's the case, then the half bumper will work. If it's not....then it might not work

We actually do offer a full kit. It's just up to you to decide what combination you want. Currently we offer a front bumper, a front half bumper, 2 types of sideskirts, and two types of rears.......

If you're not sure I'm talking about, let me know.

Yeah I did get your email, I will respond to it soon. I will tell you right now that we had that bumper in our possession and decided to ditch the project because there was not enough demand for the r-magic front bumper.

well that picture of the car in your ad is an s4, still it would be better if you had your own product on an s4 car instead of an "example" of what it might look like.

that hood is nice, but it would only look good with the RE-Amemiya 2000GT front end.
We need a reverse vented v hood, for v mount set ups... sorta like the URAs hood vent

Thumbs up

that would be awesome, simple. make it in frp, to cut down costs.
use 'border racing' technique of folding the edges. its good for
n/a, turbo guys who want to change out the look, save weight
and great for the anyone running v mount set ups.
