Carbon type s a spec lip

I was wondering if anyone has used the carbon creations a spec front lip? If so how was the fitment? I currently have the whole base a spec kit and have been thinking on changing the front to type s but the type s lips are hard to get sometimes and the eBay ones have terrible fitment issues. Thank you

I'd personally stick to OEM.

I'm going to try to but if it isn't an option leaving some parts carbon fiber might look good

$323 but i don't know about shipping. That's is what makes me wonder about the fitment because that's cheap especially for what they claim to be real carbon fiber. I'm not worried about carbon fiber quality cause I will be painting anyway.

I'm kinda surprised that the high-quality end of the aftermarket hasn't tooled up full repro A-Spec kits, now that OEM is pretty much out of production.

That said, these kinds of flexy body parts are very difficult to manufacture in low numbers but high quality and hit an affordable price point.

Are those Carbon Creation lips even available any more? Not listed on Endless's site.
Several ebay sellers have them around $400, are these leftovers from ended production run?

The one I found is the same as the one on eBay says in stock on multiple sites shipping seems to be 145 to my house on those sites

some guy in FB group actually has it fitted on his Type S, looks quite nice however he did have to do some trimming to fit the OEM bumper.
