Smile carbon fiber front spoiler/Which HIDs to get for a red c230

Hi all, im new to the forum. Just purchased a Red c230. Im looking for a carbon fiber front spoiler.
I looked everywhere and on ebay they cost over $300!!
Anyone know where I can find one for a cheaper price? Also which HIDs temperature would look best on a red c230?
I was thinking 6K for top and bottom or 6K for top and 3K for fog lights.

Thanks

HID's shouldn't really matter "which looks best" but rather which gives off the most light. For the low beams, keep it from 4300K-6000K. 3000K in the fog's would be good also assuming you have projectors.


I had thought that CF splitters were more like $250. However I don't have one

Check with Gary@Suvneer, in July I think he had one more CF Lip left.

I got this to protect against bottoming out and hitting parking cinder blocks.

Is that on your car in the profile photo? Looks pretty good -- probably due to careful install plus painting car color.
