The only piece I will never carbon fiber on my car is the splitter, why? Because if you hit something (and you will) is it super expensive/virtually impossible to make it look right again, as carbon fiber is a weave/resin, not a paint. So what do they do? They re-glass it and then paint the whole thing carbon flash. So why not start out cheaper with carbon flash paint in the first place?
many here have found the splitter to be a sacrificial piece of the car...

I know what you mean , but I had to take a chance, lol.. Every thing else is carbon fiber, plus I added a curb alert it stops me about 8" in parking lots. For road debris or animals just hope that don't happen. And im lowered on cut stock lowering bolts, The spliter is a bout 3"off the ground. But its been on there for around two mouths and been on some long trips and not had any problems yet , fingers crossed

Interesting that you're swapping out all of your OEM Carbon Flash parts, even the side mirrors and rear spoiler. I think the Carbon Flash looks good, but it seems like the Carbon Fiber catches more light.
