M-Power bumper
#27
umm, no I can see the lines where it was cut and isnt perfectly lined up with the bottom of the top portion of the front bumper. Looks like he cut it out haphazardously and just slapped it on there actually. I'm getting the m power rear bumper and putting some carbon fiber vinyl in the middle portion, not like it matters it still looks good.

Wow, so now its rice , hey Kevin, don't even worry about it, allot people here think everythig aftermarket is "Rice", this topic is getting a little bit off topic, the mods might have to lock this one soon.

How am I a ricer? I'm not the one with carbon fiber plastered all over my car, whether its real or fake. I think it's stupid when entire body panels are made of cf, regardless of if it's real. If you're driving the car on the street then it isn't a race car, and doesn't need to be ultra lightweight. And if you just want your car to shed a couple lbs, then paint the cf in the color of the car, instead of just leaving it bare. The very nature of the thing makes it somewhat rice, even though in some instances...such as the one this thread is based on, it does look pretty nice. Too much of anything is a bad thing, I say use it sparingly as an accent....you don't need an entire car made of cf, or the dash completely covered in it, or the seats in some fake ___ carbon fiber upholstery, that's my opinion.
