Yes sir! He be from the Bay. :D

Also, I forgot to mention that the real carbon side skirt are also available, but no picture yet.
If the complete lip set is affordable, I may just have to get a set and screw the spoiler, hood and mirror for now

I'm not a fan of seibon so i don't think I'll bother with it. Never really had good experience with their fitments on hoods that I had on previous cars.

The fake carbon exterior stuff doesn't really bother me as much as it does to other people.

They also have a teaser of the side skirts on instagram, which is where all of these photos are from. Seibon has been posting them recently so they should be releasing soon.

Now comes the decision if we will be replacing our OEM body kit with a real carbon fiber aftermarket body kit...I am leaning towards the real carbon fiber kit, which the our CTR's should have came with in the first place :hmm: Also, if we do get the Seibon CF body kit, it will not match the factory carbon with Red polyester weaving. :hmm: decisions...decisions :banghead:

Man, people still get caught up on this fake vs real cf when it doesn’t even matter. Jus enjoy it for what it is. I like what OEM has to offer regardless of fake or not. I like the looks, but not the price tag. I may eventually get it.
Jus to note, most companies don’t even give you 100% carbon anyways. It’s usually all fiber glass(not hand layed either), but chopped/sprayed with 1 layer of cf on top. So do u’ll consider that real or fake?
Nowadays, they make really good replicates of cf looking parts, such as, the R oem lip kit.
Lastly, does it really matter if it is real or fake? I mean r u gonna give me internet social brownie points? Lol. Will the real cf give u better lap times? Can’t we all jus get along? :)

Once again you also have this all wrong. Who gives a fuck what anyone thinks on social media? If you are cool with the carbon look than good for you. If someone doesn’t like it and wants real carbon maybe it’s because that’s what they want, not because they want dumb shits on social media to approve. We can all get along while building our cars the way we want, not the way others want us to. What I don’t get is the whole red badge/accent trend on non type Rs. I’m sure some people like it but damn be original. Lots of lemmings in this community and it’s sad.

Yes its sad.
why do I need to be a part of a race team to buy a crate motor though? They act like it’s 1000 hp monster..... I’d be down with this if they would sell to the public. I’d love a sleeper. And I still wouldn’t put a type R badge on my car lol.
