and im not being a dick like everyone else, but once you get the lights in, lower it ? and get some wider tires in the back? it would have to be in a magazine=)

is that a carbon fiber hood?

Did you change wheels between pics? I like the front end but not the wing. It looks like a JC Whitney Terminator II wing that you see on Civics all the time. Is it a "true" Veilside wing or a copy? I like the car though, looks nice.

Let me guess you got the copy Cwest Kit? (this wasnt a flame, I can just tell.) looks ok so far tho, needs the accessories to finish it tho. And your door is open on the first pic.

I'll just give you two clues:

1) no oil cooler mesh which come with the O.G. bumper
2) and no 99 jspec turn signals, which are sold with the
bumper

just FYI, your passenger side wiper is kinda hangin out there. you might want to adjust it closer to the hood so it doesn't fly off on those high speed runs.

Also, are those your wheels on the maxima parked next to you in the last pic?

this is like where's waldo

I remember the first time I saw the in person it had a crack in the bumper on the driver side...looks like you got it fixed. Kit looks good, get the lights and side markers and it'll look sweet. Oh, and a front mount...when you find that bag of money! lol

why the **** would the real c-west bumper come with lights. how about the people that already have the 99+ fd's in japan, they'd have to buy the lights w/ the bumper?

Im talking about the people in the states, who's C-west's distributor is Motorex, they dont sell it without the combolights usually. and most people get it with the bumper anyways. So that is why I know, if his location was in japna it would be a diffrent answer. But as he stated above, it proved my point. I didnt rag on is car for it tho or anything, I think Its comming along pretty well actually. But I don't understand why you seem to be so offended.

uh i'm not offended, i just like to cuss a lot. it's obviously a fake, like 99% of the c-west kit in the u.s. i'm not denying that, but don't go around spreading false information, saying they only come w/ the 99 lights. and though motorex may be a distributer, there are still other ways to get parts from japan than just through motorex. so someone in the u.s can definitely still get a real c-west front w/o the lights.

Uh... Incorrect again, only MotorRex is the offical distributor of the Cwest products and all US based Import shops get it from CWest. Call around it will all be traced back to CWest, Im in the Idunstry my friend and Know Ken from MotorRex. What make's you such an expert on everything? who the hell are you for that matter? do you have an FD? Are you even related in the industry or participate in shows? Id really like to know. Cause I dont like trolls going around calling me a lair, and I'd like to see if you are one or not. My reputation is set on this forum and most of the senior members know who and what I do, so lets see some of you credability and if you want I will show you mine, if you havent already seen it.

LMAO. That's too funny.

fdracer has a point. You can always buy it grey market if you have someone to buy it and ship it from Japan.
