what do you think it is then?

it's what he's selling, i asked for a pic, that's what he sent me.

his ad stated "REAL carbon fiber" so i'd assume it's carbon fiber.

The lip on the car pictured above is a plain black Integra front lip. not carbon fibre

Maybe he sent you that particular picture because that's how it will look.

Or, he's just trying to rip you off.

Nah, it's a CF lip. It was at the Hybrids.jp launch party.

Not the coolest thing in the world if you ask me...I'd just stick with the normal color.

negative, the lip on that car isn't carbon fiber, I remember him posting a post a while back asking for opinions after painting his lip black.

The only reason I don't like it is because it goes over part of the bumper, similar to the 96-98 CTR lip. If it was a true "lip" and only went on the bottom of the bumper, then I think it would look decent. It kinda makes the bumper look incomplete.

My mistake...I guess there is another very similar ITR with a black painted lip (not carbon fibre) on this board. He might be from the mid-east, I forgot.

i doubt it's a company, probably custom.

my dad can make anything carbon fiber (he works with it), i can just give him something to mold and it can be done. haven't taken advantage of it yet though.
