Actually, they make a bunch of CF parts. They make 4 kind of CF hoods for the BB6. Here's the OEM style CF hood they have:



I had a CF lip from them. I didn't like it, the quality & fitment sucked. The CF weaves were not in a good pattern. This was about 2 years ago. I don't know if they improved or not.

by saying they dont make crap, i meant that the quality of their products are tip top, or good, or grade A, i.e. not crap

the lip that james (98typeSH) had looked nice as hell and from what i could tell fit great. ask him though.

lol, miscommunication. James got it from Seibon? Maybe they improved. When I had mines, that **** wouldn't fit right, cracked at every angle.

4bidden bought one for his 4th gen around the same time. He can vouche for me, he had the same problems.
