Carbon fiber side skirts

I already have the M performance plastic ones, question is should I just get them wrapped or purchase a new set.

If you already have other CF parts, I wouldn't wrap them. I'd either leave them alone or get CF ones.

3D has the best side skirt IMO, too bad it will cost you a left nut.

Carbon quality, 3D design is top tier. Their products always come flawless in terms of fitment and weave. We've never experienced any issues with them. Another reason for the high price is because they are imported from Japan

Get them painted, can't tell if they're gloss black or carbon from 10 feet away.

I see. So how tier/quality are the 500$ ones you have currently?

For the price, they aren't bad.

Here's a quick shot of Aero Haus:



Exotics Tuning:



3D Design



If you have side blades already, honestly, the best solution is to wrap it in a gloss black vinyl. Simple, cheap and effective
