Import Trenz Carbon Fiber SS Front/Rear Lip Anyone?

Just as the title states....

Should we make the stock SS Front/Rear Lip in Carbon Fiber? As a result of a worldwide shortage of CF, price would be in the area of $300 - $350 per lip.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Hmmm I'm doubting the stock lips weigh that much, but just for fun, what kind of weight savings would we be looking at? That's the only way I'd consider it. Also what about side skirts? I have a mangled one, if I was replacing the lips I'd want the skirts too.

I dont think it'd be something to buy to save weight but i just think it'd look good with a CF hood

Im with Alicia, I hate the CF look and would paint anything I had CF. But if it saves THAT much weight it might be worth it. However I doubt they are that heavy to where it would make a difference.

We would only create the lip for aesthetic purposes only for those who love the look of carbon fiber. The weight would probably remain the same.
