[auditech79]

No mine is polyurethane, i just need to have a pro paint it because the cheap ass duplicolor keeps chipping off even with 4 clear coats...

[A4speed]

ic, dont they just use the urethane but put carbon fiber on the outside?

[ImTheDevil]

Auditech, how is the fitment of that lip? I've thought a few times of getting one. Was it made well enough that you could just fit it easily onto your car, or did a body guy have to do some work to it for it to fit right, like so many body kit pieces require?

Fits like a glove, i did have to use some creative ways of mounting it from the fender liner area because you can't get any screws in there from the bottom of anything without it looking stupid. So i only have about four bolts holding it on, two on each fender well. It also takes two people to mount it, i needed someone to stretch it flush with the fender while i mounted the bolts.
As far as it being carbon fiber mine isn't but maybe they changed it, i bought mine on clearance on the phone that had been sitting in the wharehouse for a long time so it was made a few years ago, it might not even be made by LLTek cause it doesn't say. I really don't care though cause it looks bad ass, and i got it for $350 :)

hey, glad u joined over here man. you can also pm me if you have any more questions about my setup!

[CCA4]

auto lock/unlock enabled, remote window control enabled

Me likey :D. Could you elaborate?

[ImTheDevil]

It's done via vagcom in the convenience module by using a reference value already in the car and changing the number based on codes for those options. I don't know them offhand but Hiwords knows them - he's the one that set those options on my car. I bet if he chimes in he can tell you exactly how to do it.

[FasterA4ThanUrs]
