    PFD Carbonworks R8 Carbon Fiber Aerodynamic Trim Packages

    First off thanks for letting me participate in your Audi R8 community. As you may have read the front page news I'm new to this side of the business so please forgive any blunders.

    I wanted to share a bit of the development process and thoughts behind my PFD Carbonworks Audi R8 Carbon Fiber Aerodynamic package.

    The goal with all my products is for them to look like natural yet more aggressive design components that come from a factory performance division. Nothing over the top, just professional design, quality product and great service.

    When you have a minute watch this sexy video of the digital development process.

    And when you have a few more minutes visit the site and get ready to order!
    Thanks guys.

    Are these proven to offer aerodynamic gains or are they for aesthetics only?

    The R8 parts do nothing for me but I really like the coffee table.

    Regarding the aerodynamics I've touched on the front splitters on this post.

    http://www.pfdcarbonworks.com/blog/?p=78

    I will follow up with information on the Gurney lip spoiler as well as the side splitters.

    Thanks.

    Re: PFD Carbonworks R8 Carbon Fiber Aerodynamic Trim Packages

    Just an update for everyone. I just confirmed the test fit fiberglass parts off the production tools today; 7/11/11.

    As a note; the owners of donated development/photo shoot car, disclaimer, I do not own an R8, were very excited to see the proportions on the car, even in the raw yellow fiberglass, and commented that "the parts are integral to the design of the car and will look awesome in carbon fiber"!

    Thus I have kicked off the PFD Carbonworks Audi R8 Carbon Fiber PrePreg production parts and clear coat finishing solution.

    The first set of R8 Carbon Fiber SN#11-001 production parts will go on the development/photo shoot car next week. The first two sets of paid parts are shipping next week to two early customers in the Bay Area and Orange County.

    As soon as the development/photo shoot car has its parts I will post some raw shots here and in the PFD Carbonworks News section and then the final shots on the main PFD Carbonworks R8 page.

    Thanks for your support!
