That kit looks too busy. Even if the aero has been fully tested, unless you plan to run that thing on the track full time be prepared to cry the second you hit a driveway or dip in the road at highspeed and rip off 4k worth of your carbon fiber bumper and diffuser.

Thing with most Lotus owners, is with these cars we are after weight reduction, power, down force, grip. generally in that order. most of us seem to prefer the factory look. IMO, this changes the car too much for the engineering types to like it. Myself included.
The body on the Lotus is so light as it is (glass reinforced plastic) that CF doesn't make sense most places. The roof does. But generally only on the Exige as people like to increase flow to the engine bay/intercooler. The diffuser does well, but that because there are downforce gains on top of the stock version and wieght loss and the GT3 version has the same thing.
If I were to import these. I scoot over to Lotus talk and see what is already doing well over there. Not much of a market IMO.
I hope that was helpful?
