Has anyone installed front splitter lips to their M-sport model?

Generally speaking, is it hard to install? Would you go with matte black or carbon fiber on a white car?

CF all the way!

I'd say CF as well. I find the matt black looks cheap (my opinion). I went full front CF lip as it protects the bumper from road cash and curb stops.

Huh? Isn't the CF more expensive than your bumper? I'm not saying it wouldn't look great, but if your logic is to protect your bumper, you'd usually use a less expensive material.

The CF lip from Ikon was ~$500USD. Looks great with the m-sport, and should you bump those curb stops, it doesn't beat the crap out of the plastic OEM bumper.
