Finally received & installed CF lip + sides...

Got them from Jose @ Ionic and I think aside from 1 minor setback, he was one of the best guy to work with. Anyone needs carbon fiber stuff, you should ask him first.



I took off my skyline front bumper and my sideskirts and put the cf ones on and boy it looks so much clearner and sharper. I left the skyline rear bumper on and it looks nice together. Now I'm going carbon fiber frenzy looking for everything made of cf for 4th gen.

Next up for bat is tokico illumina/spring kit.

my skyline kit is fiberglass version and front bumper is cracked, maybe repairable. the sideskirts are in good condition, just needs new paint job.

yes, the sideskirts i got this time is carbon fiber as well as the lip.

Car looks so much better with the CF lip and side skirt. I would go with the CF valences on the rear as well to set it off and just my .02 to make it even more cleaner...remove those stickers near the wheel well. Other than that the car looks alot better now....good job!

I wish they make a lighter looking lip (not lighter in color but in shape) that will look good w/o adding the side skirts.

looks good man....are these pieces flexible though like urethane or are they stiff and crack easily like fiberglass? I would love to order these but dont want to crack the lip the first time I hit a bump. My work has a steep incline to get into the parking lot so that worries me as well.

It won't bend like urethane but it won't crack as easy as fiberglass. But definitely breakable...

Much weaker. Its purely cosmetic and not very durable.
You must be carefull with it. Many org members have destroyed theirs.
I think Im the only one who has had for a very long time.

lol yea I liked the skyline kit when I first had it then got sick of it after like 2 weeks and regreted. But then one day my uncle busted my front bumper (drove the car less than 1 minute just to see how it rides than hit pile of bricks pulling into driveway) so he paid most of it to get it replaced to CF kit. And finally I get to lower my car without problems.

Haha, you said it.

I love carbon fiber! I've already ordered a cf hood and will be purchasing the full CF kit from Ionic after I move south. I can't wait.
