You should hit up outcast garage in santa ana, they have a good variety and can ship directly to your door.

i'm looking to stay away from cookie cutter brands and looking maybe to get something from an independent fab shop or small brand. currently looking into:

G3 Carbon (forgot the user who suggested these guys)
Outcast Garage (thanks jkhang)
Successful Automotive (thanks sgvlex)

APR has a nice front splitter. Kinda pricey but it's carbon fiber.

wow, that's really appealing. carbon reinforced tho... so maybe plastic + over laying sheets? for $450+ that's kinda tough to justify

I have rubber chin on my IS350 F sport. It's nice I don't need to worry much that it gets broken plus it's cheap. And it protects the bumper
