Anyone with Lightweight CF lip spoiler?

The subtle Lightweight lip spoiler is pretty popular here. Most dealers only sell the black PVC version but the company offers carbon fibre as well - https://www.lightweight-titanauspuff...mw-m2-f87.html

But there aren't many pictures of the carbon version on the internet. I'm trying to find out the pattern of the CF to see if it would work with my CF sideskirts.
Could someone with this spoiler please post a picture?

Also I would love to know if the sticker is optional or if it's applied and covered by clear coat.

Just installed it. Definitely recommend, designed very well to bolt on strongly to the car. It’s a bulletproof lip.... held on with 14 screws in factory-like clips. 8 are in factory locations, 6 you add. I have some install tips in another thread in the cosmetic section (just posted).

My sticker was separate.

That looks very good on your car but from the photos I really don't see the carbon fibre, it just looks dark grey. Do you have some close up picture?

It’s not carbon fiber, just the standard lip. Not sure what the differences are between the two from a mounting standpoint.

How much reduction in clearance is there on the frontend with the lip installed?

It’s the least of the lip options I believe. I think it’s reduced around 3/4” on each side, and theoretically it’s more in the middle because the bumper raises up. Maybe 1.25” in the middle? I can measure it.

No that's fine. I was just curious as I don't want to have too many issues with driveways. Thanks!

+4 interested in this. Is it best to order directly from them and shipped from overseas or is there a vendor here that sells them? Group buy perhaps?

I'm not sure if it's ok to post a name of the vendor I was in contact with (as I don't think they are a sponsor of this forum). I got a very competitive quote from US based dealer and I'm planning to have it drop shipped directly to Canada. PM me for details.
I also have a high resolution from the manufacturer that shows the carbon pattern (but it's on a 1 series). I could post it later if you like.
