if you check out the link it says they are in need of some people to test fit the thing and they will give you a discounted price if you let them install it. I dont know...i like the carbon fiber deal and I do like CF hoods since I do want one, but I think having your whole front bumper CF....it just doesnt seem to flow to well with the rest of the car...just my opinion

Unless you're gonna have it painted to match the rest of your car, I'd have to say

I would have to agree with BR1AN it would have to be painted. Otherwise, i like the style of the bumper!

I would be skeptical about CF...If anything happens to it, its not repairable..

Because it still wouldn't look right?

If it's not painted, I don't like it. I think it would throw off the look of the car.
