Default Front splitter

Anyone know if they make a carbon fiber front splitter for the 2013 F-sport is250? I'm looking for something similar to this:

A search would have yielded you with results:

You can also search and find at least two members with this lip installed.

What words did you use for your search? I went through several build threads and didn't find this splitter. I also searched google several times.

Are you looking for a truly functional front splitter, or a front lip spoiler/splitter? Two totally different objects.

Mostly for esthetics. I'm not racing or driving 130mph. I've just always liked the look of them.

You guys should take a peek at Chargespeed's website for a splitter type lip: http://chargespeedusa.com/#/listing/...s-350_lip_kit/






Regarding the '11-'13's, I'd like to get the AIT's kit in the near future.

yes, there is a non-carbon fiber version. At least 2 CL members bought the non carbon fiber version.

The lip alone is $920 shipped.......think I would want a lexon or auto couture lip for that much.

I contacted AIT to see if they can produce a lip splitter like the 11+ model year. They have forwarded my request to the R&D department. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
