Anyone know how much just that front bumper would be......looks really appealing......


AHHHHHHHH........now i gotta decide between lsportline and this.....



Edit: love the full frontal shot....looks like an //M front end, and half MB AMG front end...... but, from the side, its a little disjointed......just doesnt flow.....

Oh, and the kit looks nice. Bit weird though without some sort of wing or something on the back.

Looked up Carus red label on the net and came up blank.

Let me know where to get this kit, I love the front more than the Vertex kit.

I like the rear and some angles of the front, but definitely don't like the sides.
I like this angle of the front:


But definitely don't like this angle:

Intercooler for a turbocharger?

I love that front end! Back looks kind of goofy to me though. Maybe it just needs bigger exhaust tips, like the Greddy EVO or something.

Wow, pretty cool kit! It definitely depends on the angle though... I'm with Hameed, love it from the front, but not from 3/4.

Thumbs up

I think whats missing in the back is some sort of a spoiler! Maybe even a 3 piece? That would fill out the back and make it look complete!
Other than that, i gotta agree with some of the folks here, looks a little too aggressive and looses the 'classy' touch of the car..

I like it, especially the front but I don't think it will work with my headlight washers

I like it. It kind of mimics the Mercedes-Benz AMG C32's front bumper except w/o oval foglights. Red Label... makes me want to go to happy our and get "happy-happy" with whiskey. "It's always time for Suntory Time." (I think I killed the joke).
