They only made them in fiberglass or CF. ("Note the Ratsback front lip I have is not Carbon Fiber") It's strong. Ive had to repaint it numerous times due to heavy scrapes and its yet to crack.

ahaha, ok for even more confusion, jk. yes this is brand new never painted. it looks primered but will still need prep before paint. and yes it is hand laid fg for lightness strength and durability..

I'm iffy about putting a fiberglass chin spoiler on my car....I promised myself nothing fiberglass would ever make it's way onto my car. If it were urethane I'd go forward with it, but I'm going to pass, sorry

Why don't you like it! I've got an OEM on mine. Considering the trade for your's. Seems odd you have it brand new but want to get rid of it! Particularly you are wanting to trade for OEM - more subtle - or Garage Very - more extreme.

Waz up?!?

Exactly, Its just to much like stock. If I have an aftermarket I'd like to go more aggressive, if oem styling then I guess I just want to save money from color matching it and going oem which is just always black.. I was going to ask trade for oem + cash but then the cost for someone else to color match it I figure straight trade would be fair.. Any other q's feel free to post..
