I believe other than the OEM lips, all aftermarket lips are fiberglass.

the stock front lip painted is a nice clean option as well if you arent going for the extra downforce

I'll probably need to paint all the lower rocker panels to maintain the lines. Anybody know if they need to keep my car to do this?

No, they come off easily...just look underneath for the fasteners. 5 minutes.

If you going to paint the aero lip body color, you will need to paint the rocker panels as well. But I have different approach, paint the front lip matt back to match the rocker. I think will have CF version in a month.

Ray - Just of out of curiosity, who sells a carbon fiber lip? Do you know if it has plastic on the bottom for scaping? Thanks!

PS - Your call looks great, by the way!

I like the black rocker panels and front air dam better than body color, especially on a lighter color car like yours. It makes the body look sleeker.

having a CF front lip seems like trouble. if you arent careful you can scrape even at stock ride height.

As far as the rocker panels, i think it depends on the color of the car, cause i was thinking i would need to do it to maintain the lines, but on the seal grey i dont think it looks bad with the front lip painted and the rest black:

Just do what I did and buy two, and have a constant cycle of re-paint, scrape, exchange...
