Carbon rear lip

Anyone know if something like this is made for the 8? I know the trunk doesn't open with the light attached so it would need to be made different. But, it may look pretty good to match the red/black hood and fender vents I have. I just contacted geminicoposites to see if it can be made... anyone else interested?

what is your take on "different." I assume it would be drastically different if made for the 8.

Ok so glad you all were able to help on where to go to get this made. Instead I have received replies filled with negativity. I could care less what you think about my idea, was just seeing if anyone else would be interested, and where to get this made.

So if you have an idea of who I can call please let me know. If you are here to just **** all over my idea, then go hang yourself in your closet!

The Closest Thing Is The Knightsports Spoiler... Doesnt Cover The Taillights But I Think Its Pretty Sick... The Look I Was Going For But A Lip Spoiler For $800 Is Too Damn Much

Well I wasn't really looking to cover the lights because that would most likely look retarded. But, I did call geminicomposites and they said that there is a carbon fiber shortage so they won't be producing anything until after the summer. I may just wait for the new MS kit to come out, I like that spoiler. If not I'm going to have my friend make a spoiler which is built off of the back of the truck so it looks like one piece. Maybe like the back of the Lotus Exige mixed with the back of the viper, not as extreme though.

Chrism, sorry man it was so freekin cold that day that I was just trying to get out of there. Post a close up if you have one, I'd love to see what it looks like.

Thanks,
Brian

I'd have to chime in on the Evo-R lip and say most definitely. Nice look. Nice price. I was going for the "subtle" look. Not too "ricey". Very pleased
