Carbon Fiber Recomendation
So I want to get the front lip, side skirts, spoiler and diffuser in CF but looking at Seibon they ask a lot of money (would be close to 3K) so I searched Ebay and would cost approximately half or even less.
1. Any good ebay sellers?
2. Anyone have installed them? Fitment?
3. Any other brands out there besides Seibon?
4. Is Seibon (or similar brand) worth the price?
5. Anyone knows what pattern Seibon uses?

1. I would probably stay away from eBay. There are many replicas.
2. Seibon has very good fitment.
3. Other Brands with Carbon Fiber Aero: AIMGAIN, Lexon, Skipper
4. Seibon is worth the price. They make good products and have been around for a long time.
5. Usually its a traditional checker weave unless otherwise noted
If you were looking on the Seibon website, you will pay top dollar. I will shoot you a Private Message.

Seibon has top notch quality. The price is a little scary at first but you get what you pay for. The fitment isn't 100% though. Theres minor adjustments that need to be done to make each piece fit properly. I have their trunk, fenders and hood and the weave is flawless. The clearcoat has held up better than some of my other non-seibon carbon parts. If I were you I would order the spoiler and see how you like the quality, fitment and weave and go from there 👍

I've had to do minor cutting on my trunk like make holes slightly larger for the backup camera etc. The fenders I drilled a new hole for one of the mounts. Maybe I was just lucky and got a good batch but I did have to invest a few mins modifying each part to fit. The hood was spot on thankfully.

NIA can make their kit in carbon fiber if you request it (I originally wanted everything in CF as well but it was too expensive for me so I just went with their front splitter and side skirts in gloss black). Just shoot them a DM and they can work with you.

Seibon is your best bet for this platform, I have use a bit of carbon parts on my previous Supra from Seibon and it will need some adjustment, only way to get it perfect is to do body work, all depends on how OCD you are.
The hood oof on the white Supra is Seibon, needed a bit of adjustment, clear gel will crack if you have heat from the turbo like mine did, I would suggest putting high quality clear over your parts if you want to prevent it from yellowing. The front bumper is also carbon fiber and was custom from modelista design, side skirts are carbon from shine auto, diffuser is top secret from shine auto, wing is RMM. The best firmest is the RMM since they are huge, followed by shine since they were just starting up and quality was very good, Seibon was the worst fitment but still not bad. If you want quality you will have to pay for it.
