I like this. By the way, how is that mesh grill attached? Is it possible to remove it?

Lastly, one thing I'm concerned about is that the chin spoiler seems to be integrated to the front bumper and made out of carbon fiber. I think it would be better if it were still made out of plastic so it can flex if it ever scraped.

the mesh grill can be removed, my intention is to hopefully turbo the car shortly after the body work is done (fingers crossed) figured the mesh would hide the obvious intercooler. The chin spoiler looks like it is one piece but that's because of the angle the photo was taken, it is actually held in place by rivets.

Install pictures coming soon, still waiting on fenders and hood :tup:

to hide the intercooler is to paint it black :)

I like the idea...probably be less chip-prone than the OEM parts...lol

Part of me says hell yeah, part of me says it'd be cheaper to repaint the car. Still, it's always nice to have options. I just wonder what the car would look like with these items on it...CF patterns on the ends and skirt (and maybe hood), yet still (in my case) body color for the hatch, doors, roof and A pillar. Something tells me that it wouldn't look good...

Knowing the weight of each piece would be nice, or at least give the analysis on the weight savings. Also, really want to see install pics! HA

I 2nd this statement!!

Front and rear fascia in CF isn't going to save much weight if any. This sounds merely cosmetic at this point. However, make a hood, rocker panels and doors and then you'll get my attention!

Been awhile since I commented on this thread. Anyone wondering, this is the same cf pieces mentioned in the "cf front bumper" post. This is my body kit before everyone goes off saying it's not worth the $$$ and so forth let me come out and say it is a first off kit and I am getting the parts for free + installation costs. I went to see the front bumper in person, I think it looks great, thankfully the chin spoiler is a separate piece I haven't decided if I'm going to keep it or sell it and stick on the oem (any takers). Quick question for those reading, does anyone know how hard it is to remove and reinstall the side blinkers, I still have them on my oem fenders.
