Than I saw your other thread! =)
Yeah, I have been looking for the lip for a long time! At $138 for the lip already in CF, is worth it. Takes about 5 days minimum to CF a piece because of the cure time on the resin and waiting for the clear to dry, etc. Patience is key!

Nice work, must have been fun since you knew what you were doing... I'd probably give up in 30minutes and cry.
It was fun...and I learn almost every time I try a new piece. CF is so expensive because of the labor...especially if doing it by hand. Every piece is worked by hand, sanding, etc....so it is a lot of work, but I enjoy it.

$750 is very fair...actually a really good price. I have seen them on ebay for $1400-$2000 for OEM trim. What I like is the different colors. Carbon Fiber is the traditional black material...the colors you see is actually Kevlar. I just bought some orange kevlar to do a buddies bowties on his Orange Camaro. They will look good! I did another set in black for another buddy. I owned a new Camaro before I bought my BMW and still hang with a lot of them from the Camaro club.
