Carbonsignal front lip help!

Huan'z · 04-10-2012, 02:04 AM

Hello guys! I'm about to pull a trigger and put a deposit for my carbon front lip. But still can't decide if which front lip will be best looking on our z. I was think
"ts-rep" or "spec-me" from carbon signal. Both was real nice but really can't decide which one. Please help me out and advice! Thank you in advance!

I always thought the top secret lip looked pretty tacky. You need lots of carbon fiber accents to make it look good and also blacked out headlights. Otherwise it just looks out of place

I'd go for the spec-me lip if I were you.

You would probably be much better off getting another lip. This will probably be a disaster just like the front bumper.

I say go for the Spec-me lip. They have a bunch that are nearly ready for shipping.

Didn't you just buy the CS front bumper in the FS section?...

I did and during the test fit I found out exactly what I had bought

and on top of all the blemishes that were detailed if you run your hand over it, the bumper is extremely wavy. Tried to contact CS and sent links to pics but no dice. It's a beautiful design and I'm keeping it but it's costing me more than the actual bumper cost just to make it how it should've been in the first place. I'm not trying to bash them but beware of where they are located and how hard it is to get in touch with them.

I'm not sure what issue you are having but I do hope they make it right for you buddy. I was communicating with them through facebook and they seemed concerned and asked for pics. As soon as I sent them no more communication and its been over a week

Shouldn't have to spend over 1k to repair and strengthen a $850 bumper, but when it's done it fit and look perfect and be 100x stronger than before

Huan'z · 04-11-2012, 08:23 AM

Damn. So u spend over 1850 for that bumper. I rather to get a authentic amuse front bumper! Lol! Anyway good to hear that from u. I just put deposit for my

Spec-me font lip carbon ver.
Type-n add on rear spoiler carbon
Rear diff carbon
And the interior kit.
I love carbon product and hope will be perfect like others members.

Well I dont have a lot of options here. CS isn't going to help and I wouldn't sell it to another member in its current condition. It's gonna look great when it's done though. Especially with the amuse rear, skirts and fenders that are on the way

Hi there.

we are sorry for your issue, but we are for sure not ignoring your msg. we have requested the pics to be sent to our e-mail. and to be honest i didnt see the pics on facebook till 1 hour ago as i didnt get any notification for that. and i did send you a reply on the spot.

can you please pm me the details of your purchase, as we just sold 3 bumpers and that also long time back. and non of the bumper owners have complained.

thanks.
Naj
