Default GAME....Help me identify this fender

I need some help. I got a fender. Carbon Fiber probably 8/10 condition but I don't know who made it or what the real value of it might be.

The spots on it are just water. Just washed it off.

Thanks guys.

it's definitely not authentic ASM. it's seibon. the vent insert on the seibon has a different curvature than the ASM which can be seen in the OP's image. Also, the ASM is 25mm as opposed to seibon 10mm, which causes the ASM bumper to hang wider than the OE front bumper, thus needing the finishers that attach to the bumper. Not to mention the real ASM fender is dry carbon.

i'd say the seibon fender, being 600-700 new on ebay, would be worth $400-500 used in decent condition.

I did e-mail the MFG and they said that "only some of our fenders will have a white label with our part number on the underside." Wasn't sure if the S2000 was one of them.

So essentially after you buy it and it's on your car for any length of time that white label will be gone. Definitely looks genuine and not a rip off of the real thing!

I guess the biggest issue is what to do with just ONE fender!!!
