I think the carbon fiber air bridge is just for show. It looks really good. But before you order, take the stock one off, clean it up real well, spray some tire shine on it, and it looks pretty good ... especially since you saved $300. 
Looks even better with the crossed flag logo painted or decaled.

The carbon fiber air bridges are mainly for show - little help in the HP department. If you have other carbon fiber pieces it goes well with them, but you may want to just paint the stock piece - it would look good without spending $300.
