Since this looks like a copy of the vertex lip, can you fab a version for the 97 bumper? The vertex lip for the 97 looks very similair to that.

I will try to hold one up to a 98 bumper to see the differences next time a 98+ customer comes by.

Wow that weave looks all sorts of horrible. Was it laid down by a blind person with no hands?

Yes, he used his toes to make that one, actually you're right, that lip does have a twist in the weave. It is made with 2x2 carbon. We can sell it for $250.

Future lips will be using the 1x1 carbon so they will not have large twists in the weave.

yes that's no problem, if you don't want the 1st off 2x2 one we made for $250, just order the normally priced ones, which will be wave-free in 1x1 carbon, I can take pics once we finish a second in the 1x1.

Nice work. I'm no hater, and can appreciate your efforts. Some interior pieces, mainly accent pieces like the ****ty wood trim, would be a nice addition. Interior pieces are so finicky though, and it's hard to get a good fit/finish for them. Usually it requires the carbon fiber to be laid pretty heavy, which adds to the cost. Honestly, I would pay more to have a PERFECT fitting carbon piece. Just my .02 though.

Some of you guys...seriously need to give this vender a break.

I'm all for putting out feedback so the vendor gets the point on what they need to improve on.

If you want top quality you need to go to the companies that make top quality original kits and be ready to pay top $$$ too.

Now, if this guy made Raceon USA kits that fit as good as originals, were equal to or even more flexible/durable, and for half the price, then Raceon USA would obviously put everyone else out of business. He is supplying everyone kits they can afford.

Be happy the guy is making stuff for the SC.

If you want a mint CF lip you are going to pay $$$ for it.

I’m sure he knows he needs to improve strength and fitment to improve his business but the dude works to make a profit to live too.
