It is new to me and it is awesome. It is so far the only front lip that i might consider to buy but $1000 it is damn expensive for a lip. Does anyone sell replicas of this?

I only found that pic at:
Racing Dynamics
The M-Technik Add On is a Carbon Kevlar composite add-on lip that mounts under the original bumper.
As always with Racing Dynamics Aerodynamics, our engineers and design team have worked in conjunction with each division to provide a visually pleasing product as well as a performance orientated aero kit.
The front M-Technik Add On section increases front end down force and bumps the airflow to the radiator and oil cooler by 27%.
I think that they forgot to say that by colecting more 27% of air, it also increase the air flow through the brake ducts and therefore it is also helping in the braking cooling.

Forgot about this lip from RDSport. I remember when they debuted the thing at SEMA a few years ago but don't remember anyone on here getting it. It'll definitely be unique compared to some of the other common options. Here are some pics from SEMA:

I doubt very much they did any flow testing to come up with 27% increase. Just sounds like a marketing ploy. Either way, if I had the mtech front I'd definitely look into this. Very clean looking. 
My only concern would be scraping. At $1,000 thats a large price tag for something that will inevitably get scratched up.
