Default Front lip questions

Hi, I was looking into front lips for my car and I love how the two piece trd lip look. I found a company selling either primered fiberglass or "carbon fiber" two piece lips. Do y'all think installing the primered fiberglass lip with 3m and w/o painting them will be fine or should I just go with the cf and 3m? On their website they "state" to paint them before installing.

Some are real carbon fiber, others are ABS plastic with carbon decals over them. I've seen fiberglass, ABS plastic, and real carbon fiber
for several cars here lately. If it's cheap $$ it's basically a given it's not carbon fiber. I don't know about these you posted, I can't get the
Ebay link to work. Correction, I looked at the first one, Those look to be the real thing. A member posted recently on getting those and they
looked great. On the second one you linked up, they are fiberglass and yes, they'll need painting to look good. I want the carbons but just
haven't pulled the trigger yet. $$$$$$

I found an AliExpress account that seems like it's the official company that sells these for $210. It's kinda tempting to buy it there but idk how legit it is.
