I think Bomex is just starting to make it or something. Personally I like the idea because you'll actually get quality for a $400.00 bumper. It's not that bad looking either. I am sure someone will be sporting it soon.

I think it looks alright....... maybe a little overdone though. Id have to see it painted to match the body to make a better decision.

It would look pretty damn good if you chopped off the little bar that ran in the middle of the left and right vents and smoothed the lip down on the sides... I say for a cheap frontend wouldn't you cut away at some stuff and bondo the holes?

It looks ok... maybe the pictures are just hurting. I still am a fan of the trendy Cwest kit.

Yeah that's exactly what I mean't... Now on the side of the bumper get rid of that little (1/4 inch) lip. Then the frontend wouldn't look all that bad IMO.

(Sorry to lazy to photoshop, maybe I'll show everybody what I mean later.)

What's up with the photoshop experts out there? Maybe you guys can color that kit the same color as the car.

the car is black and if you make the bomex kit black to match the car, you won't really be able to see its lines very well.

Who makes the kit on the yellow FD? I kinda like the Bomex front end. With a couple of fixes and the yellow FD's sides, IMO would look good.
