I ended up spending more money in the end than buying CF because painting the separate pieces added another $300+ to the price, plus sometimes aftermarket paint is a gamble. It's really preference but I like CF accent pieces because it gives it an aftermarket aero look, i.e. Vorsteiner, 3D, ACS, etc. For the lip though, CF usually doesn't last very long compared to painted PU.
Appreciate the info! Great informative here. I am definitely thinking CF now. I may give that ebmotor.com site a shot and report back. Their prices are about 1/3 of those from Taiwan. Just hoping fitment is close to the ones from Taiwan. I will post pics but it may be a while since it looks like delivery will take quite some time.
