Question JL-Motoring vs. JBSPEED

Hey guys, I'm considering buying a whole exterior setup for my car. I'm planning on getting the CF rear quad diffuser and either CF front lip or painted front lip with the C63 style grill. I have two questions:

1. For those who own it, how do you like your parts from JL-Motoring or JBSPEED.

2. My car is silver, would CF look nice for the front lip or should I go painted?

Both sponsors pretty much sell the same setup. I want to know the quality difference and fitment.

THANKS!

JL freights it to US and ships from US. you can also arrange with him for local pick up which saves you shipping.

JBspeed ships directly from Taiwan.

the difference would be time and chance to get damaged from the latter.

basically hinted on the other stuff you asked without the need to say it.

I'm a happy camper with JL as well as friends that bought e92 M3 stuff from him.

Another round of ICE
My JBSPEED AMG type rear spoiler arrived in perfect condition and the speciality shop who installed it was amazed at the paint quality and match, not just color but metallic elements.

Thanks for the input guys! I'm going to throw in a curve ball. I think I'm going to go with DCTMS for the front lip and one of the other two for the rear diffuser. I like the DCTMS look more since its not as aggressive.
