Where’s the Aero?

[AspecR]

Cleib has added some updated aero side skirts to their demo FL5.

Those new skirts look really good

I always liked that style of fenders. I remember when I first saw them on the Evolution X, but I also thought about how the side panels would be destroyed by rocks because they were going to be exposed to the elements. They do look nice, though. Until the whole tariff situation is settled, none of this is worth it in my opinion.

Here’s one I haven’t seen before. From KUHL Racing Japan

shows front lip splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser, trunk spoiler and rear wing and a 2 piece rim.

It will debut at TAS 2026 and will be offered in FRP and carbon fiber

I don’t like how the height of the winglette (definitely made up that word) on the side skirt is not the height of it on the front lip or rear diffuser, would drive me nuts. Doesn’t seem to flow well with the car in my opinion.

CMST were one of the first to release a full suite of aero parts for the FL5. It's all designed/produced in China. TBH CMST is the only chinese aero company not doing immediate reps of the JDM brands. Fitment also has been confirmed to be good, not as good as the boutique JDM offerings but they undercut them greatly in price.

Here’s a link to a blog post from Carbon Junkie Japan. They detail the design philosophy of the FL5 Dry Carbon hood and fenders. They’re also considering making a Full dry Carbon roof, rear hatch and doors.

I think I might be the only one who dislikes the checkers carbon look

I think it can work but the hood has to be painted, and then you can leave small sections of the checker pattern exposed. Otherwise it looks weird to me as well.

I don't like the checkered look either, I prefer the more traditional carbon, like the underside
