I think I need a new carbon fiber front lip.

Rear-views would look cool, too

Maybe could have parked a few more feet away from the murder scene that wasn't quite cleaned up.

Check out Yishin's F. He has his side skirts done also and I believe a CF front lip.

I think it will look great with a carbon lip, diffuser and rear spoiler to balance it out. Reminds me of side skirt option on Ferrari 599 GTO

I agree. A CF or cf wrapped front lip, side mirror cover, and rear diffuser makes it all go together. Because of the striking contrast, there really should be something to complement the carbon fiber some.

Yeah I saw his thread. He has the same diffuser and side skirts. I believe his front lip is the arkym which I don't really like.

I'll see if I can find another lexon front lip in carbon fiber or overlay the one I have with real carbon fiber.

One of the very select few I've seen with the CF side skirts. On your color I think you actually pulled it off and I like it the way it looks.

I was debating on getting them for my F but it's USB and I don't think it would work well with it. I have the Lexon Rep CF front lip and Toms rear diffuser on right now. I also have a CF hood and trunk but with all those items on at once it was overkill so I took off the hood/trunk. I think I will do the CF wrap on the roof though.

I also think you should get a carbon lip to add the contrast to the front. Any plans on doing the roof?

Thanks man. My plans are to get a carbon fiber lip. I would prefer the c west one but if it takes too long I'll get the arkym or lexon. I'm also planning to wrap the roof in gloss black and maybe a carbon fiber spoiler either on the back window, or on the trunk. Like you, I don't want to over do it.

IMO - I would color match the skirts to the car and get a carbon front lip to match the rear. I'l also get some wheel spacers on that car ASAP.
