That's very expensive even if it was hand laid right here in the USA. I'm guessing it's china crap that will delaminate in couple years that somebody is getting for 1/4 or less of that price trying make a quick buck.

I agree , but come to find out this company where I ended up ordering all pieces including flares which are 20mm larger than factory, Is the Company that supplied and manufactured the now infamous F22 Raptor .

I am not that into wrapping but you could Carbon Fiber wrap it (and get some protection) for WAY cheaper and probably the same general look ... which I am not crazy about.

Please follow up with the results of your install and pics. I'm a carbon fiber junky as well, but have ran into variable fitment from "OEM fit" kits in the past. I'm pretty picky about things not sitting perfectly flush or flat, and get a little aggravated when I need to mod for fitment.

lottp I actually ordered a kit once I saw the F22 - I fell in love. I'm also very particular, but I rolled the dice. Initial impressions are that it looks very good, off the truck anyways. I will be installing it this weekend.

Quick first impressions - the kit is awesome! I personally took a long time to install everything, because I was very paranoid about scratching anything during the removal of the old flares and the installation of the new flares. As mentioned before, I am very particular, but the process was very straightforward. The end result is spectacular, though. The carbon looks amazing in contrast to the lightning blue paint. Fitment is on par with OEM as well. No panel gaps at all. Extra width on the flares really adds to the appearance as well. Money well spent, if you ask me. No regrets.
