I should have it installed by Thursday or next week. I did not get carbon fiber as it doesn't really show when you put carbon fiber on black. I really wanted this other one but they wanted $3k plus $1k in shipping.

^ yes please if you show pics!

also, i came across this, the post says insinuates its OEM, but i cant find this part number, anyone know if this lip really is for the cx-5?

UPDATE: Hold off on buying this. Definitely some fitment issues on the front lip as they don't provide any screw holes. Rear diffuser is okay since you use factory screw holes.

UPDATE: I was able to get it to work using 3m tape and no screws. You can screw it in if you'd like if you're willing to drill through carbon fiber/fiber glass.

Thanks for the pictures. Everything looks great.

You mentioned the rear spoiler has great fitment. Does it actually fit perfect? In your picture, there seems to be some lifting at the passenger upper corner. Not sure if it's a shadow of some sort.

Sorry, I actually didn't put it on yet. Not sure if I will. I didn't take pictures of it but I had my friend hold it in place. It appears to have lined up with the top and edges perfectly with no issues. In the photo that I posted, I let it lay on top of my car and it slid as I took the picture. Sorry! I will definitely have to get a better photo at some point.

I would be more interested if it were painted silver...

Personally, I would like to have the 2 piece set. I will not pay 700 bucks for them though.

lol @ this lip. Looks like something you would buy at Auto Zone.

I know. The price is nuts. If it was $300 for both shipped, I'd be all over that.
