Default Wald Carbon Fiber

Found this online and for the price it looks like a steal. Wald replica carbon fiber. Anyone have this or know of anyone that's tried this? Looking into getting it.

They don't even have a pic of a cf front lip there, AND if you look closely, the fitment is horrible. I'd just save my money if I were you

I know that VIS racing sells a replica wald front lip and the fitment is pretty spot on. Heres a link http://www.visracing.com/newcatalog/...Front-Lip.html
Hope that helps you

True. Only thing with cf is that it turns yellow if you neglect it

Another thing to keep in mind with CF replicas is if the fitment is crap you can't do much about it. Contrast this with fiberglass reps where you can bondo and paint to correct the fitment problems.
