Does anyone in Houston have a carbon fiber front lip?
Would like to see it on the car before I for I take the plunge... just a little worried about ground clearance.

I went ahead and took the plunge. My CF lip and diffuser arrived Friday. I'll try to get it on this week. Once I do, I'll post pics and offer some feedback. Here's a "Before" pic.

I took the plunge and am happy I did! The diffuser and lip arrived last Friday. I took them to my installer today and in less than two hours he had my car finished.
My comments on JL Motoring's service and quality: Paid via PayPal and the parts shipped same day. In less than a week they were at my door. The parts were packaged very well for safe delivery. My installer's comments on first seeing the parts was, "they're heavy which tells me they're quality." When he sized them for fit on the car his comment was, "I have rarely seen aftermarket parts that fit this well." After the install was done he commented that the ten bolts for mounting the lip were about half as many as made him comfortable, but aside from that he was very impressed by the fit, ease of installation, and quality.
From my perspective, JL Motoring was easy to deal with, shipped quickly, had quality parts that fit perfect, and I really am pleased with the look once installed.
You can see from the pics that the lip doesn't decrease the ground clearance below the bumper by much, if at all. I was surprised to see how much it protruded forward making the front end look more aggressive in my opinion. The fit is perfect for both the lip and the rear diffuser. Needless to say I am a satisfied customer. By the way, I have no incentive to say nice things about JL Motoring other than the fact that I am happy to be a customer.
Sorry about the quality of the pics. In the interest of time they're cell phone pics.

TraumaDude:
Great pics.. It really looks good. Pic #6 really helped! I was able to see that the ground clearance is still good.
I to will be ordering.
Thanks
Like ITSEL33 I to am curios about that rear diff.
Had not thought about replacing it.. but it looks good.
How hard was it to remove the old one and install it?
I may be ordering it to.
Thanks
