Default Your thoughts !

I'm a carbon fiber whore. What are you guys's thoughts on this ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/04-09-HONDA-...cba91f&vxp=mtr

It's cheap, so quality is definetly a worry but also would like to know what your thoughts are on the looks. I have a silverstone metalic

My worry with a CF lip is that it will eventually hit, scrap or otherwise contact the ground and then it will be game over and look like crap.

No idea. I know the cheap carbon parts I had on my civic all fogged up pretty fast. If you buy it it's probably worth having a body shop put a few coats of clear on it to help stop that for happening.

It's worth a shot. It will probably fade quickly so it may be worth putting a few shots of clear on it. Also, cheap cf is pretty weak and thin. One bad bump and it may crack

If you do that why not just buy the poly lip and wrap it?

I think that's what hes saying... I'm honestly not a fan of unpainted CF. Idk maybe I'm just a fan of sleeper status though.
