Default People with Ebay CF Carlsson Lips

How much did you pay to have your front spoiler painted? Is your paint noticeably different? Are you happy with the fit an finish?

I ran a search and apparently at least 1 guy isn't happy with the replica. I also noticed the lines were a little off, but not bad enough to take away the look of the kit. I didn't see any painted replica lips other than the original Carlsson. If painting that 300 dollar replica costs more than 600 bucks all together maybe i should just cough up the extra 100 or so bucks for a perfect fit and carlsson quality finish.

It doesn't even look close to the real.

The real, like all other Carlsson lips, attaches the underside.

The fake, covers a portion of the bumper under the foglights.

it actually fits pretty well, there is a very slight gap where the front bumper turns on the side, hardly noticable, if u have a dark colored car then its fine. The fake one looks better than the real one in my opinion.

i mean u tell me, that red car looks pretty good, do u see a bad fit on that red car?

much better than paying 600+ for the real one, u can get the "fake"/replica for 220 i think. it used to be 300

and ur right it does look different they are almost completely different lips, we shouldnt even call it carlsson

Yeah, if you have a dark colored car it looks all right.
