Saw someone with them on at a car show ... They looked really good. It's on my list of things to do to the car.

I wonder if you can see that it's a overlay? I would like to grab these.

That's really expensive, I would get get it wrapped IMO. I've seen it wrapped black but yet carbon fiber...

It's actually not bad considering the LEMS covers are over 500 and the OEM fake CF covers available in Europe for the CT models are the same price as those real CF eBay ones.

IMO, wrapping any exterior part with fake CF wrap looks tacky.

Has anyone looked into hydrodipping? I've seen it in person and you literally cannot tell that it is fake carbon fiber.

I wish the market was more competitive because only a few people do it in Southern California (supply and demand) and they're overbooked. Price is not bad because I asked for a quote (6 feet long Bayson lip) and I was quoted $100 but it would take five days. I work 7 days a week so I couldn't just drive 50 miles back and fourth

Definitely on my list to get!

Were you able to tell if they just lay on top? is the thickness noticeable?
