Because the CF Do Luck is like $700 while the other is half as much, then you have to paint it.

looked at the street concepts one. but it doesnt look like the do-luck lip, the street concepts replica flairs out to much. the real do luck-lip look like it just has a small "bump" or wings on the sides. i like that!

I have a replica carbon fiber do-luck lip that I bought off of ebay. Firment is 90% perfect with some minor flaws that can't be seen by the naked eye. It's real carbon fiber and it cost me $350. I'd rather go that route than a real do-luck lip, sure it would be nice but I don't need a $700 piece of carbon fiber being in the line of fire. Mine still looks great with very minor gash on the bottom due to the driving the car on a lift to get an alignment done. However it has not gone through winter yet and Chicago winters can be very bad especially when the snow turn in to chunks of ice! I love the lip however it really changes to look of the entire car. With the lip on the car i'm very comfortable in keeping the suspension stock.
