If cf is not your thing, check out Maxton Design. They got some gloss black stuff in a few variants.

I thought I would like Autoid, turns out they are not what i expect.
On the otherhand MP actually grows on me.. but I still love MHC the most..

These look cheap enough and not CF. Anyone have pics of these installed?

The MHC is the one without the ugly vertical side wings, right?

That’s correct.
It’s great looking and according to my shop in Scottsdale, very easy to install.

Is MHC the only good looking one without the winglets?

my vote goes to just a regular, normal, old school not something that looks like its out of Transformers, no angles, no winglets, nothing wonky - just a front lip.

This identical lip from the same factory will be $350 on eBay. $885 is laughable.

I don't think that I saw it on there but I am contemplating getting a KG Splitter. It looks like it is just polyethylene or maybe ABS so it won't look as cool as carbon fiber but I think that it will be more functional and I won't shed a tear when it scrapes the driveway

I just spoke with my installer who sells both this and MHC. His comparison, per you post, is apples and oranges as the quality difference is quite large. Montrachet vs. Chablis.

Regarding RW Carbon, the mirror caps I purchased for our Arizona car are remarkably high quality. The finish and fitment are perfect. They compare favorably to the OEM pair on our New York car. I can’t speak to any of their other products however. YMMV

MHC makes great pieces and will be better than most. Largely because they design and manufacture their own stuff.

Sure you might get a good piece from RW. However, the fact is they are just reselling Chinese carbon, from the exact same factory making 99% of the eBay carbon.

Better off rolling the dice on eBay, rather than paying 4x the price for eBay carbon that has been opened, looked at, and put back in the box to ship to you by RW. They do no development, don't make their own designs, and simply drop ship at huge markups. All they do is order eBay stuff and "quality control" it.

Decide whether you want chinese knockoffs and go eBay, or get unique pieces from MHC, AutoID TRE, OEM or similar. But don't pay a company like RW 4x the cost for a chinese lip. It's simply not worth it.

I've gotten 300$ lips on eBay that had better fitment/quality than OEM. Price doesn't always reflect quality, especially with drop shippers. That's their whole business model... charge an absurd amount for Chinese carbon so people think it's better than it is.

In the future I’ll defer to you on all things carbon.

Just saw this one earlier today. Looks like it protrudes a bit too much. Like it sticks out and doesn't flow with the car
