Lol then redo it, you will need to clearbra over the paint still. Incredibly easy to chip off the paint. I had to repaint my front lip less than 6 months after it was painted.

Not if you get them properly skinned in carbon fibre, and clear coated by a Bodyshop?

That's what I did with my rear armrest and door switch covers(see my thread for pictures).

No reason they shouldn't last as long as the car. Worst case scenario, I'll get the clear coat re-done in a few years time.

Most carbon items aren't 100% carbon anyway. It's normally plastic or fibreglass underneath the carbon outer skin.

Hope you get it sorted chap.

Good to know that the two outer pieces are not cf, they seemed that way in the pics. i wonder if you can use the 2 cf splitters with the center of the 3 piece.

Not too happy website says "Aeroworkz Lexus ISF CF Front Splitter (3 PC Kit)" which implies all three pieces are carbon. I went back and looked at website if you in large pics and really look you can see outer pieces are carbon.

Now I already had the two outer pieces in carbon fiber wonder if I can incorporate

the center piece with those?

If you are referring to the pictures you attached, the outer pieces don't look carbon to me?

I have a guy thats making me CF side splitters right now for my ISF. From the looks of that lip, you can wrap the two edge splitters in real CF (which should be cheap, like sub $150 I would assume, I can connect you with my guy). Or, buy the side splitters in CF and resell the outer ones. I'm pretty sure somewhere in this thread it was previously mentioned that only the center piece is CF, or maybe on aeroworkz website (I used google translate to look at it) and thats what initially made me not order the 3 piece. I would sell you my outer CF aeroworkz splitters but ISFpower is buying them from me today. Good luck!

maybe when you enlarge the photo, the image becomes pixelated.

I'm OK with the outer pieces not being carbon, I just really want to see the 3 piece installed before I pull the trigger.
