Actually there is a group buy on it. Its FRP composite too, not that fiberglass junk.

will it bolt up fine to stock fenders? Just wondering since the Burnout kit uses wider fenders.

I love that front bumper especially in black, the rest of the kit is ok doesnt look that great in white or other colors but that front bumper sure is beautiful. I would jump on in but my front bumper is custom fittted to my rotary run headlights Wish i was their im 6 foot and 155 lbs nice and skinny to fit under the roll cage.

I really would like to see it in yellow too. My only concern is that it sits too low.

For this particular bumper though, black is the way to go along with the wide fenders. Because judging by the white version of the kit, which is closest to a yellow shade, it loses the sleek aggresive look that the black kit enjoys. I think.

Sitting low isn't too much of a concern for me as I have adj. coil-overs. I think it'll look good. I used to have a Mazdaspeed GTC on my other 7. THAT sat low!

I actually like that body kit, especially the fenders. As any long term forum member knows, I'm not exactly fond of aftermarket body pieces...

I think it'll look great Ernie.

I hope it looks good. I've wondered about it in other colors - I'll be interested to see the results. Black definitely hides a lot of sins.

Thumbs up

are you doing JUST the front bumper? thats is the best part, the sides i can take or leave anyway... =\

that may look a bit odd with just the bumper...depends. ive seen a cym with just a feed bumper and it looked weird when the bumper was so low and everyhing else wasnt...

feed sides look good with any bumper ive seen with them together!

anyway, cant wait to see! i think that will indeed look sweet in yellow.
