Haha, now even MORE people will have the C-West kit. Soon enough, it'll be more "original" to have the stock bumper.

On one hand, I can't help but doubt it being a total POS. Any body pieces for $99 have to have serious fitment and durability issues...

On the other hand, it IS only $99 + shipping, so it might be worth buying. It's not like you would be out all that much if it's the garbage I suspect it to be.

You would end up paying more (3x) for the paint/fitment/lights than you would for the bumper itself.

I don't think it would be a total POS. I would rather save up for the real deal.

I just ordered it so i will let you guys know when it gets to my house if its a POS. It cant be any worse then my RE N1 replica which i just cracked the **** out of by hitting a huge dip in the road I feel stupid buying a front bumper thats cheaper then the shipping cost but we shall see. I am a cheap bastard

what was your shipping cost??
I'll definitely buy one or two, if it fits ok..

I also found out that they sell CF hood for my Legend coupe.. So, I'll order it together.. and maybe save some money on shipping..

If FG bumpers are so prone to splitting, you should buy 3 for $99/each. Get them all painted at the same time. Keep the extras around when the one on the car cracks.

Satan,
please let us know how well it works.

Im always curious, why do they say C-west, when its CW? Also why do they show a real C-west bumper and then sell the fake one? Weird



Either way for $99, i would rather get a gun and shoot the **** out of it then put it on my car, just to put it out of its misery! haha
