Update: Painted my KS-auto CF lip

Decided to paint my carbon fiber lip from KS-auto. The color differences between the CF and the black were starting to get on my nerves. I wanted more of a "clean" look.
Found a decent paint shop to do it for $100. Here's the new webpage showing the painted black lip versus the old CF lip.
Unless you plan to buy other CF body pieces, I'd recommend to get the fiberglass version and have it painted.

I love Carbon Fiber but I think that was a Good choice. It flows better with the rest of the kit now. I think it looked good before but now it looks Awesome!!!

Looks much better, Adrian. I think the only way I could live with unpainted CF body kit parts would be if I had a silver '8 and got the silver CF. Someone around here did that, and it looks damn good, IMHO. Of course, it does so because it's so close to the factory paint color...

It was around $650 due to it being CF and also the high shipping cost from Japan.

This lip and kit is in-stock in the states now so shipping is way cheaper and faster. When I get authorized on this board I am going to have a group buy for the KS-Auto Kit.

Adrian, since you helped get the word out you get special pricing on anything else we will be selling for the 8.
