It is hard FRP + a few layer of CF and about 2mm of clear coating. It is not flexible at all... I tried to pull it a little to the outside and could feel that cracking come if I forced it a bit more.

Of course I can force fit it, but that's certainly not worth $400. I got a $120 front lip from ebay and the fitment is many times better. This is not something I could work out with a heat gun, little sanding and fastening.

To make it fit right it is needed to
-Cut it in 3 pieces
-Extend each side about 0.5 inch
-Use CF to match pattern, FRP to reinforce it.
-Apply clear coat
-Sand to flatten and smooth surface
-Polish

I wouldn't call this good to very good fitment.

It also leaves a 1/2" gap in the top but that's the least of my concerns.
