Trying to find CF rear underspoiler
Can anyone help me with this question? I'm eventually going to do a two-tone look, white on top and black (CF) on bottom. Now, the CF front lip and side skirts are easy to find, but the CF rear lip isn't. Mainly because the only CF rear lip I know of is the AE/Seibon, which is a lip that goes on under the rear underspoiler.
I want to actually replace the rear underspoiler in this situation, something like the MS underspoiler. I could swear that I saw a CF Mazdaspeed underspoiler once before, might be a replica. If anyone know what I am talking about, can you direct me?
Also, the standard AE/Seibon CF lips have the wet CF look (glossy). Same goes for the EVO-R lip. Does anyone know of any CF lips with the dry look (matte)?

i dont think ms makes a cf one not sure though but their authentic ones look alot like cf coz of the color so maybe thats what you saw?
and as far as the matt look maybe if you contact some of the makers they can get ahold of a matt lip instead of the wet look

Yeah I figured as much. I really like the MS look, especially since it's not a full bumper replacement.

I would consider the CF wrap, but I wouldn't know if I should do it myself or find a shop to do it.
But I also wonder why there is so little in the market for the rear underspoiler?

Most of what I've seen are either custom ones, made by members on this board, or full bumper replacements (i.e. Buddy Club, Auto-exe, Veilside).
I like the stock bumper look

Damn, those pics are tiny! The first one, dislike the little grill thing.
But I'll take a look at them later tonight, thanks TeamRX8!

There use to be a few comps that made a rep of the MS. Most didn't have great fitment and I can only think of one that looks nice. Has a WB with custom carbon side flares. I recommend searching, this has talked about often enough. Other than that, Leg is currently the only one with carbon rear diffuser. Which won't match seibon carbon weaving anyways. Japanese comps tend to use a 1x1 weave.

i shot him a PM and he mentioned it was a custom job so while it can be done again, it would take a little time. i'm a little tempted since i wouldn't be in a huge rush anyway. we're heading into winter so i could wait until spring if needed.

I pm'd him too. Spring would be great, it'll give me time to save up money for all the CF parts I want. I want to see what his reply is, and if he can do it in the dry look as well. If not, I may as well go with wet for all the pieces.
