thanks for all the input guys i decided to go with the cb look on ebay with vendor baysonr and everything is cool so far....i went about 145 yesterday and it didnt fly off so thats a good sign. the only negative is that the carbon fiber "look" wasnt the exact pattern on the wing , which would have been nice but who cares its similar enough and from a distance it looks the same,so heres how it looks

I just installed my eBay carbon fiber vortex generator and am very happy with it considering it only cost me $30 shipped. This is a Tyrant brand which LancerShop used to sell for $399. It is real carbon fiber, not carbon fiber "look". This piece is brand new, but I got it so cheap because one of the mounting tabs is broken off and I had to use my own double-sided tape. I used 5 feet of 3M Super Strength body tape which cost me $5.99. The fitment was decent, but had I paid the full price of $399 I would have been pissed and sent it back. It does have a few flaws that 99% of people will never notice. The weave matches my exhaust outlet heatshield surround thing, but not the wing which has a much tighter weave. Installation was easy enough and overall I am very happy considering this cost me under $40 total!
Sorry for the crappy pictures, but I didn't feel like pulling my car out of the garage.
