Are these duckbills the same?

There is a considerable price difference which makes me wonder. I ordered from Suma about a week ago and received no updates. Will likely cancel if they are the same

Worth noting that Rexpeed says theirs is FRP. May be worth reaching out to Suma to see if the construction of theirs is wholly CF.

for under $500, there's no way either is entirely carbon fiber.

likely just comes down to different fit-up techniques, overall material usage, and markup gain structure of each company.

I'm sure both are ABS with CF around it. Anyway, I emailed Suma support

Suma got back to me. I didn't get a direct answer but they noted that theirs has CF on the side that faces the trunk whereas most other brands don't. The added CF reduces gaps and makes the fitment better. I couldn't find a video or good pictures of the Rexpeed CF duckbill for the GR86 but did find one for the Supra and can confirm that the side that faces the trunk doesnt have CF.

My duckbill from CF is on the way. I can take pictures once I receive/install it
