Same situation here, but this is the one that I'd like to pick up. A few bucks more, but OEM style. I've seen it on a few in the appearance form and fitment looks great.

Re: VIS CF lip anyone? (syrinx)
That lip is not quite OEM. From the looks of it the middle section looks more recessed compared to the OEM one. I could be wrong though. Isn't the VIS OEM style?

Re: VIS CF lip anyone? (RDLIN-IT)
Are u talkin about the VIS carbon fiber front lip (Spoon look alike)?
I had it for about 4 months and didn't have much give. It's a nice piece though but obviously doesn't have any give...
I'd get it if you don't live by any pot holes resembling a war zone...

you have any idead what the grade of CWINGS carbon fiber is?
i was going to buy a new VIS hood and spoon replica lip, but the lip screws in to the bottom of the bumper which would lower the front bumper about 2.5 inches.
i called VIS and they said they were currently developing the OEM style lip for our cars and might be ready for distribution around the end of march.

I don't know the grade, but I'm sure that if you asked on the appearance forum you'd get a better reply. I saw numerous pictures of it one members cars and it looked sweet, with excellent fitment.

If you think your stock lip has taken a beating, the Spoon-style one will be destroyed. I have known many people with that lip who cracked and broke it into several pieces not too long after getting it. It really is a waste of money IMHO, it's just too fragile.
