pretty cool, but maybe a tad much for most of our styles?

ohh that's cool. dunno why some companies use carbon/kevlar weaves. is it to protect the car from drive-by's?

As far as I know this looks like crap. There is only 1 company that I know of that makes a CF front bumper for the SC. Funny enough they are both based out of MD. That's where I'm from. I might have to go do some research when I go home for Christmas. I'll be in touch with the NELOC gang to see if I can do a test fitting. If anyone want to know where to find this CF front bumper, let me know.

it was found on ebay. but to me, honestly the idea of carbon fiber or with kevlar for that matter is pretty pointless other than eye candy. i mean does, anyone here go FULL out racing or track their sc other than 5sp_jzz30. i say for 700 bucks though. and if fitment is good, id get it

if that was the case. get the doors, hood and trunk and go like the Amuse R1 Titan. lol

It looks cool, but it's just fiberglass with a lay-over. No real point, lol

i like teh way the front bumper looks...the 92-96 style with a little aggression looks better imo than the 97 +

ive been this on ebay for a while already. for the money its worth it. i wouldnt keep it that way either. i would paint it. to me the point of CF or kevlar parts is less weight rather then the look of carbon fiber.

someone should get it. this is making me think....

oh btw i found out i get 35 off on all seibon stuff so those CF sc doors are under a 1000

Don't like it. Painted is a different story though.

I almost bought this kit, before I decided to sell my SC. For the price, you cant go wrong. You definately have to paint it.
