Well, something to consider. The Carbon Fiber front lip for my Subaru was $300. The carbon fiber front lip from iCarbon I had on my BMW was $700. The Subaru front lip was bigger, bolted to the car properly, and was made completely of real CF. The iCarbon lip didnt attach as well, and was smaller than the Subaru lip, using less CF.


So why the $400 difference? My opinion is because people who buy Euro cars tend to have more money, so companies like to charge more because they can.

I'm not saying that this newly discovered company is using real CF, I'm just saying that Euro parts cost more when they shouldnt.
