No and No. Its an Chargespeed replica carbon fiber lip. The whole lip is carbon fiber, i only painted the top part.

Your opinion, and i respect that I got the lip for 75 bucks, looked HUGE as a whole cf lip, so i decided to be different and paint the top part only. I didnt want to paint the whole lip because i wanted to show some of the cf. Anyways, whats the point of buying a cf lip if your just going to paint over it?
