Its been 4 months now since I placed an order through Carson Tuned to get my Lexon CF lip and after being told numerous excuses/problems I am forced to make a decision. Apparently Lexon Japan sent Carson the FRP version TWICE on accident over these past 4 months AND also being told Lexon Japan acknowledged the mistake after the 2nd time that they will AIR SHIP within 7 days (all bs IMO) I still have not received it. After speaking with Luis yesterday for the 30th time in last month I was told I would have to wait another 10-12 weeks for it because they would have to place another special order for it. I am officially fed up with all this nonsense and very displeased at how Carson updates/calls back their customers.
I currently have the Tom's diffuser installed and was planning to install my Tom's sides along with the Lexon lip but since I basically will not be seeing it I have 2 choices. Return the Tom's sides and cancel the Lexon order and get a full refund or return the Tom's sides and get the FRP Lexon lip and paint it. I was wondering if you guys think it's weird to have a CF diffuser and a painted lip. I originally wanted the whole CF look but after all this I just about had it.

Honestly, I don't think it's weird. Some will say to keep the kit as a whole, but if you envision having your car a certain way with a la carte items, there's nothing wrong with that. Personally, a front lip, though it might serve some downforce for our cars, will get more beaten up than say a rear diffuser. Getting a CF one for the front may look cool, but it'll be more prone to bump into things and more likely scrape. Getting it is hard, but having to replace a CF front lip is brutal, especially if it's coming from Japan.
I'd hold out a bit longer. I know TOMS products can semi easily be obtained, but I wouldn't want to wreck that front lip. But certainly do what you like to the car. And happy early birthday, my friend!

I'm having the same issue with Assaultech after I ordered the Toms CF Front Lip and Toms CF Rear Diffuser.
When I ordered the estimated delivery date was late February, but now it's "indefinitely stuck in customs" with no updates what so ever.

I ordered from them based on your posts about your great experience.
Assaultech is quick to take your money though.
