Crap, sorry for the break in text and the wrong car pic. At least it's not one of my wife, lol.

I am wondering about the material. The pictures of the CF surface at the website don't look shiny. That's one of the reason I didn't want to proceed. Another reason was it looks a bit bulky. Just wondering how it really looks in person. Thanks.

There are also a few more further up in this thread from when I was installing it. The RT style one goes on easy as pie and the AF1 I have on now fought me every step of the way.

There are two different pieces with the same design. One is just basic fiberglass and the other is the CF infused I think they call it version. The CF one has a gloss finish and the fiberglass one is just in a matte gelcoat ready for paint. Supposedly. I don't know that I would trust the quality of the gelcoat, although the finish on my CF one is actually flawless. I'd consider it a more petite and less bulky piece when compared to the RT style. But again, the fit was of significantly lower quality. Have I said that enough? Finish on both seem to be the same. Just as good there as pieces I have gotten that cost many thousands of dollars.

I was wrong. It looks a lot better than I thought it would be. I have zero problem with the fitment on mine. Thank you for the photos.

I guess the one I checked out was fiberglass. Good to know you managed to put in on although the fitment was really bad. In the end, it looks very nice!
