A couple of new Carbonfiber pieces
Been waiting for this for a long time, but I think the wait was worth it.
Front lip:
Roof wing:
Thinking about doing a paint scheme on both pieces later. I'm happy the way it is right now.

No offense, but something doesn't look right. I'm not a big fan of the cf look on white, but if you do like that look, I think it needs something else cf to compliment it. Maybe a cf hood with the middle and grill cf but the outside part of the hood painted white

i like the pieces but agree it needs something still. the hood and grill would help a lot but i tend to think CF with chrome isn't a good match. it confuses me. now if you did that hood blened and has the some gumetal wheels with polished lips or that new hyper graphite with polished lips than it matches up more. but nonetheless congrats man. i do those tose wheels in chrome tho. any more info on them?

I know that the front lip in CF doesn't really go well on white, but most of the CF will be under a paint scheme later. The roof wing is also going to get the same treatment by painting the underside in stock color. I'm actually waiting on a few more pieces before I do some painting. These parts are not one-off parts, but they are new to the market.

i disagree i think CF looks great on white. it flows so well..its just the chrome that throws it off a bit but man when you hit up the hood and paint some of the lip in white to give it a 2 tone feel its going to look awesome...

I will reserve judgement until after the paint job.
I have grown over the past couple of years to not like lip kits. I have the TTE and really want to change it out. I am not saying some lips look bad overall. They just feel like after thoughts. Being that is my bias, the CF makes the lip standout even more and totally throws off the lines for me. I can appreciate the beauty of some of the lip kits like the Wald or Admiration but the lines where the lip meets the bumper just irks me. Pet peeve. I know you can mold it in but that is another topic.
I can't wait, however, to see what you have up yours sleeves for painting to tie everything together.
As for your CF on white comment, I agree with bluelex. I think they can complement eachother well if done right. It makes the car down right evil and sporty, sometimes even more than a full black version.
