I got the Kahn lip from the UK which came as a raw glass fiber mold. It needed extensive work to fit it perfectly and nice but I'm happy with the end-result. See here: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ml#post4399476
Logically, it's a fraction of the price of CF-versions available out there. Its width is also slightly less (a mil or two at both sides) but that allowed for a nice black-bead of SikaFlex 221.

I would have gone that route for mine, but didnt have time or working ability to adjust due to being overseas at that time. So went V Collection parts which fit fairly flawlessly. It was worth the money for me.
Hope you see that difference rather than thinking they are just riced out parts. Several kinds of parts for the DB9 or Vantage (think Kamn himself and his creations, or Mansory) are gaudy and wrong IMHO. So some are models after those rather than OEM additions.

as low as my car is and as much as it scrapes getting in and out of places (my own driveway included) if i were to replace my front splitter i would def opt for the chinese cf route.
i don't understand the whole "oh it's an exotic you shouldn't put xyz on it". let's be real here, some of our cars can be had in the low 30k range these days, and if no one can tell from 5 ft away where a part came from then does it really matter? i wrapped my front strakes in cf to match my mirror covers and front splitter, absolutely not a single person could tell in the yr it's been that way. now did i lie and say it was cf? no i just said it was vinyl. i guess if you feel embarrassed for some reason to say that and you've got the wallet to back it up with then kudos to you. live and let live.
