Seibon NS Carbon Fiber Lip...Yes or No?

I'm trying to decide whether or not to keep this Seibon NS style carbon fiber lip. I am either going to have it painted to match the car or replace

Default Seibon NS Carbon Fiber Lip...Yes or No?

I'm trying to decide whether or not to keep this Seibon NS style carbon fiber lip. I am either going to have it painted to match the car or replace with something else. I haven't decided yet. What do you guys think?

I like the look, but some paint in certain areas would make it flow better since you don't have any other carbon pieces around the bottom of the car.

I like mine and I think it's one of the more aggressive looking lips. I would also guess that since it's a replica of a nismo piece it's functional as well. But it depends on what you like.

It doesn't seem to flow well without side skirts.

Ya, somethings missing on the side. Either get more aggressive sideskirts, or change out the lip for something more subtle.

How does the lip fit. I am thinking of getting the carbon creations lip. Was it difficult to install, and is there a gap between the bumper and the lip?

The seibon lip fits well. I've not seen a carbon creations lip... I've heard the name before, but not sure on fit or quality.
