Pics of front lip/splitter without CF inserts?

Has anyone installed the M-performance matte black front splitter lower trim without the CF splitters? I've seen plenty of installs with the CF trim, both with the matte black lower lip color matched and without, but I haven't seen a car with just the lower lip in black. Anyone?

It is designed to fit with the splitters. So, there is a ridge on both sides that stick out when splitters are not used.
there are picks of this somewhere on this forum.

So they can be ordered separately because you can do splitters without the lower lip but you can't do the lower lip without the splitters? Got it, thanks. So you'd have to color match the splitters to get the look I'm talking about.

Thanks, but that's like the opposite of what I want. They have given these parts stupid names if you ask me. A front splitter is a flat "blade" that goes across the entire bottom of a front bumper. The parts they call the "splitters" are trim/front facia. So it's confusing to talk about. They call the actual "splitter" the lower trim, which is completely backward, but I want that in black, and the CF bits in the pic you posted color matched.

Edit: Oh and $2k? These parts are well under a grand shipped from what I'm seeing. Where does the $2k number come from?

People have done it but it is not clean. Gaps are present, mounting points protrude etc.

RKP is making a lip splitter combo just like the M perf version that is supposed to be able to separate (get either lip or the splitters, or both) but I don't know when that's available. And I think that whole package is CF. iND will know more.

That post has it without the splitters. You can see that they pushed the ends up causing a slight bend in the lower lip on both sides to fill the gap.

I've been going back and forth on trying this method.
