I thought this was going to be a TRUE front lip. Rather, it is just a grill overlay... I will pass; still waiting for a good, simple, and clean carbon fiber front lip...

I was expecting a true lip too. I want a simple lip that doesn't stick out much.

I know this is my first post on here, but... do people actually think CF looks good??? I mean it's a really small checker board... I understand its use for weight savings, but in my opinion, it looks stupid and if I were to buy a carbon fiber piece, I would without a doubt paint it.

Ditto. It does look good, but not quite finished. I see a clear 'seam' of some sort around the carbon that doesn't look good. Again, if it was a full replacement, definitely would look better. I'm also more of a fan of carbon that doesn't look like carbon (normally under a layer or three of 0.7oz glass) that is more matte finish. I like people to go "is that carbon? Ooh, it IS carbon" rather than "that carbon I can see from a mile away is probably a vinyl."

so if you owned one of these you would paint the carbon fiber, I think it depends on some parts it looks good on other it doesn't

I'm just thankful the 370Z aftermarket is still going in today's economy.
