Just got my Veilside CF lip... just want to share with you guys!
Just got it fitted around noon today!
After coming home, found that the car can JUST get into my garage with only 1 cm clearance between the lip and my drive way! lucky me!
Enjoy the these selected pics!

The price..... is 1K aussie dollars for this VeilSide Version 1 Carbon Fibre lip.... which is around 600 USD. The CF lip is a bit THIN in my opinion! I used to have all the CF parts from AC Schnitzer for my BMW m3.... the quality of parts is A LOT different from the Jap CF parts! but I like the look...

Can't believe how expensive that is for a "sort-of" carbon fiber piece. It looks pretty good, but it is just random-fiber fiberglass behind a thin layer of woven carbon fiber. The look of a CF piece without the benefits.
ho hum.

Thats it, Im getting it. I was contemplating it a month ago, but needed some real pics. Looks great man, but paint it...not a fan of exposed carbon fiber parts.

If you are planning to get it painted, I think you should just get the FRP one instead of the CF one!

no that my friend is all carbon fiber. If it was FRP with a layer on of Carbon, then it would be much thicker, and you wouldn't see that weaving on the back. Don't forget Australian $ is roughly half that of US$. That same CF piece retails in the US for $464.00, $384.00 in FRP . Seem like a fair price to me.

I'm not saying that it's not a structurally sound piece, just that it's made in a way that the CF is more for looks than function.
