i can see why you would say that, plus ive fitment horror stories, i have a full cwest knockoff from extreme dimensions, its actually pretty good, not perfect but good enough that unless you REALLY REALLY look you cant find much imperfection

As for the cost, I am fully aware. I am not a fan of putting replicas or copies on a nicer car, maybe if I drove something cheaper, it may cross my mind.

hood pins for my carbon fiber hood
new front bumper
meh..... definitely not happy with it.......
not what I was expecting...
And WTF with all the chicken wire crap everywhere...
I am going to have to get the license plate holder removed and the big indent part shaved flush.........
bottom air vents have to be cut out
The grill is molded into the bumper.... wtf... gonna have to cut that sheeit out...
By the time I'm finished modifying this I might as well just got a real L-Tuned bumper (if I can ever find one...)
Moral of the story = Say no to cheap knockoffs!!

i looked on ebay about a week ago for the l-tuned bumpers. there were 2 on there from the same seller front and rear. both needed some work but overall werent too bad(according to the pics). i believe he wanted around $600 for the front and $400 for the rear with the l-tuned lip. the auction said they were genuine l-tuned off an altezza, and i believe even had pictures of the car they came off.
I think 600 is an awesome price for that
but I would seriously have to consider ltuned or vertex front for about the same price....

yea i thought it was a good price too, i had thought about buying both of them as my car is already silver and the bumpers were silver, but they would have still needed some work and repainted, although i could have fixed them with some polyester glazing putty and repainted them myself, i didn't have the money. still a good deal at those prices though.

Oh you mean the work vsxx?
They are just for showing off & car shows..
I think they are probably too agressive for driving on my IS300
I'm saving them for when I get my IS250 soon..
Might do a shoot with these on sometime.
