New carbon fiber Lip & Diffuser on my SLS by RWCarbon!

First off, I must disclose I am not a "Carbon Fiber Guy". However, I had seen some pics and reviews of the lip & diffuser by RWCarbon. I contacted Matt at http://www.rwcarbon.com/ and ran over to pick up my order. His customer service is great and, I was really excited to put these on the SLS. The results were OUTSTANDING! From the finish to the fit. FLAWLESS! (I do recommend professional installation on a lift. It is a "easy" install and the lift makes it a breeze.) I will let the pictures do most of the talking for me. I am looking forward to picking up the side skirts when they come out too. The SLS looks way more "modern exotic" now!

The project takes a minimal amount of molding tape to complete. Make tabs to help peel tape back before pressing into place.

Looks fantastic! I really want to add this front lip and the Rado side skirts, but the guys at Rado said their side skirts are local pickup only but after seeing these pics I might just get the lip anyway.

Did you encounter issues with the backup camera?

Looks great guys!!

Thanks for the backup camera pic, its not bad at all. I think the lip and diffuser really set the car off on another level and I may order them soon. My only problem is I really want a different look for the side skirt (other than Renntech) and the only one that offers something I like is Rado and they for some strange reason will not ship their side skirts. Maybe RW can do something basic for a side skirt design for those not interested in the Renntech style?
