"vector" non sport front lip (vfiber) - feedback

Since there aren't really any front lip options for the non-sport G37 coupe besides the ridiculously overpriced Burnout KD XI Front Spoiler (which looks great imho), I wanted to get some insight/feedback on the VFiber front lip. Specifically the "vector" style. Here's some pics of it








I messaged some guy from LAGs a while back with a white coupe that had this on, but I never got a response. Any informative thoughts or input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Doesn't look too bad. Any pics of the Burnout KD XI Front Spoiler?

Also AutoKitsX was going to do one for us but the interest is just not there for a down deposit on a product that isn't even made. Not to mention it was around $450 which seemed a bit high in my opinion.

Here's the burnout front spoiler:



And yes, I'm not surprised that there was no interest for an imaginary $450 product. For less than $150 more you might as well get the burnout.

Hmm, I almost like the Vfiber better. It looks to have smoother lines. Any idea on cost?

It runs over $200 but less than 300. There's a bunch of different options as to where to buy it, with various prices and shipping rates as you can imagine. Some places are an obvious ripoff, others are ok.

Burnout would look even BETTER if you'd sand it completely down in the front so the small swirls weren't on there and just have it smooth.

The one thing w/ the vfiber one, its a VERY cheaply made product. I learned a lesson when i had my previous car. went the cheap route, and when sanding it down and prepping, half of the bumper was FILLER and cracked right out. The molds are crap so they just fill it in with cheap filler to make it smooth, and they NEVER fit right.

Stay away from it if you can...the cost of the "burnout" is worth avoiding headaches

for the price of the burnout one, id rather just buy a '11 sport bumper. wish us non-sport guys could get some decent lips for reasonable costs.

Yes, it was $450 shipped
$350 + $100 shipping = $450

so the actual price is $350

also for people who put deposit can buy it for less than $300, depending in how many pre-orders we can have, the price is less.

I'm not gonna say nothing about VFiber..
just remember! make sure the part fits good and made in a good quality otherwise, body shop will charge you alot, so doesn't matter how cheap you bought the part.

When i asked for the 10+ deposit was to start the project and make the lip all together (style, design, etc) any way!!
