I'm about to trade in my steel wheels and tires for CF lip, but I don't know how to make sure if I'm getting the real CF part? Any tips?

Depending on the thickness of the piece, trying to flex it lightly should clue you in. CF doesn't flex. Plastic will.

You should know by the weight and just by looking at it. If it’s not consistent all the way around the lip or is very flexible it’s fake.

There aren't too many CF lips made for this car and most are fiberglass with a layer of CF put over it.

Is it the Sebon lip? I can't think of too many CF lips and even fewer worth a set of wheels+tires.
