Seem like the inside circle clashes a little bit with the bumper as well as the rest of the car IMHO.

Those pictures on Carson's website don't do justice for the bumper.

Here is redgs4's ride with full Tom's kit. Front bumper look absolutely amazing in this picture.

Pictures definitely don't do it justice. When I received it, I was like damn this looks so much better in person. I think most people are turned off because of the price. Oh and I didn't pay $1,210 btw lol. I would never pay that much for any bumper.

I am turned off by the price myself.... It's just too expensive. A well fitting replica wouldn't be a bad way to go.

FRP= fiberglass. That is what the Tom's bumper is made of... $1210 for not so durable, crack prone, FRP?? For the money, go with something poly imo.

The bumper looks great on the red GS by the way...

Looks like it could've been stock... And for $1200, it should look unbelieveable. If you have that much excess cash, send me some.

I bet if I were getting the JP front bumper everybody would be giving me . Even though the JP is about the same price and made from the same material. And oddly enough the JP front bumper resembles a molded TTE lip on a stock front bumper https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...3&postcount=16
