Confirmed carbon fiber lip thread?

Confirmed carbon fiber lip thread?
I've been searching for confirmed carbon fiber lip fitments and didn't really find much. I could only assume that each manufacturer has some sort of mold they make these with. I just tried installing my Do Luck style SEIBON carbon fiber lip and it doesn't even come close to fitting. It's a minimum of 1 inch too short. There is no physical way this lip will fit even with modification.
With that being said, I think it would be beneficial to those interested in purchasing carbon fiber lips to find a thread like this that could contain a buying guide of sorts.
I'm not sure the best way to set this thread up, but maybe something like this:
1. Which lip you have experience installing.
2. Whether or not any modification or drilling was required.
3. How it actually fit. 1-5 star rating.
4. Lip build quality.
5. Where you bought it, with a link.
6. And of course a pic of it installed.
I'm looking forward to some good posts in here to help me make the right choice when I buy a new lip after I return this SEIBON pos. Thanks guys.

it all depends where you live. I live in Michigan so roads are horrible, which means i would never put anything CF on the outside of the car that is close to the ground, thats why i got polyurathane ( same material as your bumper), its a lot stronger and holds abuse.

1. Which lip you have experience installing. Black Top Aero Carbon Fiber Spoiler Type D (Do Luck style)
2. Whether or not any modification or drilling was required. Yes, holes needed to be drilled to attach it to the bumper and under tray. A body shop did the work when I had to get a new bumper due to hitting a deer.
3. How it actually fit. 1-5 star rating. 4/5. The fitment of the lip to the bumper was excellent, but in order to attach the under tray, modification was needed and there is a small gap between the lip and the under tray.
4. Lip build quality. Excellent, along with fast shipping.
5. Where you bought it, with a link. Photos on the website also >> http://www.blacktopaero.com/content/...-0305-evo-viii
6. And of course a pic of it installed. If you have any further questions feel free to PM me about the lip.

I find it interesting that the website says no drilling is necessary, but yet it really is.
