Carbon Fiber front lip?

I was wondering if anyone was intrested in making a carbon fiber front lip for our cars. Maybe just the OEM style lip or something else? I know this CF place near me, they just made a Do-Luck style CF lip for my project EVO. I asked them if they would make one for the G, but they said only if there was enough intrest. Would anyone be intrested in getting one?

The fitment on the EVO lip is near perfect, so I would imagine ours would be of the same quality. I'm more than happy leave them my car for fitting etc.

Heres a pic of the lip they made for the EVO:



Also, the price for the EVO lip was $325 for CF, so ours should be around the same price range.

Any links/pics to the availible CF lips?

If we make this one, its going to look like an OEM lip, just in CF. Unless you guys can come up with something else you woud like.

Price will most likely be around the same price as the EVO lip, $325 or so.

My neighbor who has a modded 350Z (the reasoning behind why I bought my G35) "had" a carbon fiber lip and said it was the worst thing he ever put on his car. The lip looks great and its a hot item, but if you plan on actually driving your car and not just use it for show, then be prepared for chips and cracks galore and being that their is no real "eye pleasing" fix for carbon fiber, its worthless after just one bang up, crack, or parking spot mishap. I'm a HUGE fan of carbon fiber but to spend that much $$$ and throw it right up front as a lip, it's just a matter of time before you're back to square one... Just my 2 cents, but I must admit it looks HOT!
