Even the replicas that we sell will not have the same quality as the real deal. Trust me.
So why is it that the Vortex Generator which is harder to be made like 300 bucks and how come the carbon fiber wings are so cheap? Doesnt make sence. You can get a PAIR of Carbon fiber fenders for 600-700bucks! Price is waaayyy to high thats my opinion

the difference is quality. just like he said. get the fenders and let us know how "awesome" they fit. and hmm, HAND layed. quality, guess that means more to some .

I bought a left fender from a guy that got his carbon fiber fenders he said they fit like stock with no problem. Still thinking a LIP is over priced!!!!!

It is over priced. Yes you are paying for quality but for that price, quality or not for a small add on to the car is a bit to much. It is almost like they put too much quality work into it to make it worth while for the price.

It costs more than some front bumpers. For top notch I really think all I would pay is about 300 bucks for a lip. Call me a P@#$k or an @$$ or whatever you want, it is the truth. I give props to the companies doing the hard work and they look really nice but the prices are just a little too outrageous.

HAh, there probably isn't. I dunno though, for some reason it looks like the sides stick out a bit more than the middle and less subtly than on the Do luck...I'm probably seeing things. Maybe i haven't seen enough of the Do luck. Whatever I'll buy one of the other at some point.

If you can find a company to replicate the real deal w/ same quality and sell for $300, please let me know

...not really that hard. it's all pocket value.

and at the 600 or so they're charging, they're profiting somewhere in the range of 3-400%, at least.
