What You Get for $5,000
A G82 M4 that has shed 80-100 lbs from the most impactful locations on the car. A car that is visually distinct from every unmodified M4 on the road. A car that performs better on track than it did from the factory. And a car that, when parked next to a standard M4, makes the standard M4 look unfinished. That is what quality carbon fiber delivers when a build is executed completely and correctly.
