A question about the CF lip add on - 350z
How real does the carbon fiber look? is it the cheesy looking checkered type? or does it actually have like a real cf layer?

NO,..now the JDM front CF diffuser add on offered by courtesyparts.com is "Carbon Look"---not real!
but most others are real!
as far as the way it looks,...the "look" stuff looks like Checkerd paper underneath a clear coat--like the NISSAN one
Others are hand woven(w/ clear) and look awesome,..trust me you can tell if its fake!

I have the Veilside v.1 CF front lip. It is very high quality and was extremely easy to install. It looks great too!! I will take pictures one of these days...

It is attached by using existing 4 screws under the front bumper and some double sided tape to stick it to the front air dam lip... it is a really tigh fit though, I know you will not need to worry about it will fall off during your drive... but not sure about the stealing case though!
As I got that lip in australia... not sure about in the US... I got that for 1K AUS dollars... as AUS is a bit stronger relative to the US dollars now.... so it might not be that accurate just to work out the exchange rate now!
Check with your local dealer!

I like the lip... however, you are paying for the carbon fiber side of it... and to be honest I think I'd rather paint mine the same color of the car's body. That carbon fiber look isn't going to look very attractive on a LeMan's car... too black...
I can't decide between this lip and the other one that's out.... The other one is like a spoiler...

You're right about the LeMans though, might look better painted.
