Because of both the brand name and the fact that it is made from FRP and CF.

Most cheap lip kits are made from fiberglass or ABS plastic.

Know the big names in lip kits/body kits. Check the sites, google would take years to find decent lip kits.

the general feeling among FA5 owners is that the HFP lip kit sucks. I personally feel that it looks out of place. Doesn't flow with the general lines of the car. I'll be piecing one together myself soon.

I think you have that backwards as far as what flows with the car and most FA5 owners seem to like the HFP or Mugen kits. That Bomex kit does not flow at all and looks like crap.

I won't be doing the Bomex, sorry looks like that is what I was saying. I will be piecing together a kit from CTR and some USDM parts.

Well, most of what I read on the other 8th gen site says otherwise. Sure some will like it but most seem to be looking for something else. It's about as out of place as many meh after market kits, this is all subjective of course.
