Default Just picked up my C-WEST PFRP Lip kit!!!

It took FOREVER to get from Japan, and I also had to source it through 2 different places, but it's finally here...









The quality is phenomenal. The layering is very thick, and the sideskirts even twist without that fiberglass crunching noise. PFRP definitely kicks fiberglass' @$$ any day of the week. I test fitted it on my car, and the fitment is DEAD ON.

I was gonna go with the carbon fiber, but decided against it because I needed a material that could withstand the occassional run-in with my driveway. Plus, C-West doesn't even have an ETA on when they'll get more CF stuff in. Can't wait to get it painted and installed, but i'm gonna have to wait a month, being that December is the most expensive time of the year... and no, my girlfriend already gave me a big negative when i asked her to get me paint and installation as a Christmas gift. WIll have more pics posted when it's finally on the car.

Big thanks to INTENSEPOWER.COM and Tony@Performance Nissan.

-Sam.

Not too expensive... around 1k total. Saved a bunch by picking it up myself. Thank God C-West is located in SoCal. But still, I was willing to pay a lot more if i could find ANYONE who had it in stock... The only other company I know that makes a PFRP/Hybrid kit is Ings+1, and their lip kit is around 2k... plus the 2-3 month waiting period... I believe Ings is a divisions of C-West... not sure.

Very nice looking kit, however I would say that Carbon Fiber is stronger than glass... ?? I've seen many a busted fiberglass kits...

I smashed my Veilside V1 Lip in CF against my driveway, curbs, speedbumps, and never did anything more than nick the clearcoat...

But this kit similar to INGS+1 Hybrid Aero material, so its actually like a more flexible material.

And I must say, that seems like a great price. I didn't know a C-West authentic kit in a flexible material could come for under $1k! I paid a bit more for the ings half

I'm getting it painted and installed at M1 Autobody in El Monte. They're work is TOP NOTCH, and my entire team goes there to get work done.

And of course you paid more for your INGS +1... it's freakin INGS baby! I woulda gotten the INGS too if it wasn't twice the price of my c-west.
