Has anyone bought or seen this lip??



Im not sure if it would be too much carbon fiber or if itd look odd no an AW... I always loved the look of the mtech with the carbon splitters on an AW but im not sure if this is going to look as good. Ive seen it on a black and grey coupe and it looked good but I think thats because you couldnt REALLY notice the carbon fiber. On an AW this is going to stick out a lot. Let me know what u guys think

It'll stick out, but I personally don't like how ALL of the 'splitter' areas are CF. I would just paint the outer portion of the splitters and leave some CF visible on the surface

^Yea because when i've seen some pictures, i feel that the CF area got lost into the dark concrete color. Having the outer portion painted creates a shape to that area, you know?

Like this? I think this would look good. Maybe have the carbon fiber fade into the white on the side. Either way, what i didnt like about this lip is that the carbon fiber is really long.

Id do something like this. Leave the the bottom CF and rest is body color. Also depends how much cf on the bottom you leave.
