    carbon lips and accents are cool, but IMO leaving a whole carbon bumper unpainted is ricey. (unless the whole rest of the car is carbon lol)

    carbon fiber is really nice,but whats the point on CF bumper when plastic bumper still only 5lbs? but for $100 good buy.and looks like it has pretty good fitment.

    I think..if u dont get it al painted black..its gonna look weird...but might work, if it was another color its just that silver doesnt work too well with jsut that c/f bumper.

    or

    you can get a cf hood/fender...and not paint it and it could work..

    yea you should get that painted. unless you get a whole carbon front end. then it would look better.
    or paint part of it and leave parts of it unpainted to show its a cf.

    yeah, it looks like you got a accident and got a non painted bumper on that.. If you car was black it would be awesome, don't get me wrong its a nice bumper but the whole thing doesn't look good.. like said, paint it, and maybe leave the lower part cf, as if you had a cf lip..

    now you should get the CF: fenders, hood, spoiler, and hatch, paint it all the oem color but leave just a sneak peak that there all carbonfiber kinda like teasing that you have all that cf
    IMO it would look really nice, CF looks really good with silver

    you know it would prolly look really good if you get the carbon fiber tinted to a more silve color if thats possible? spray a silver translucent over it?? idk if thats possible just thinkin that would look cool and keep the carbon fiber noticeable...

    ive got tiger blood in me, why? because i am the carbon copy of charlie sheen only fatter. thats bi-winning right there.

    Well the car that you said was your goal is ugly. If you do that then get it oem style and not that crazy bodykit crap. Thing looks like a alien spaceship. Just my opinion.

    At least your bumper fits better than the "goal".

    yea your gonna have to make sure you get good fitting parts, if you get a whole c/f front..... but that hood on the goal has too much goin on... oem cf hood will do justice.

    yeah i think you should sell it and get a lip... haha


    your "goal" looks unfinished (missing lenses and ****) and nothing really seems to fit right.

    IMO, carbon body panels are useless unless your racing. a hood here or a trunk there is all good i suppose, but when you start getting into fenders, it's just kinda.... idk... ricey.


    but hey... like everyone says... to each his own.
