Material of 427 Front Lip
Have a 2013 427....front lip has a crack that I no longer can ignore. What is the stock front lip made out of? It is painted like the rest of the car in Night race blue metallic....want it replace it with oem part to match perfectly. Where can I get this? Want to make sure when I have it painted, the material is correct to ensure a match

Carbon Fiber Appearance
Thank you, when you say "weave look", I'm assuming you mean the carbon fiber appearance? Mine is not a weave look or black, it matches the rest of the car. Bought it new off showroom floor, so I have to assume it is absolutely the stock look. So, if I buy a fiberglass one, it will not match than? Any one on here sell the carbon fiber lips? Thanks in advance

Does your build sheet say your car was built with the CF package? If not it could of been a dealer add-on.
To answer your other question....as long as you paint it, you shouldn't see any difference between a CF or fiberglass splitter.

Anniversary Edition 427 (like mine) is gray painted cf. Regular 427's look like cf.

The above advice is good. If the front spoiler is OEM, it is carbon fiber as mentioned and part of primarily a three piece option shown on your window sticker, "Carbon Fiber Package $2995". The other pieces are found running under your doors. You may be able to see the weave from the bottom side of these.
The GM replacement part number for the front is 19256909 and it list for just over $1000 if you purchase from an online GM vendor. The dealer is likely going to be more.
Most non anniversary edition cars spoilers are painted black.

How bad of a crack are you talking?
As others have said, that front spoiler is made of carbon fiber and will be extremely expensive to replace. If it's not that big of a crack, it might be more cost effective to have it sanded down and have someone try and epoxy or otherwise repair it then have it repainted.
