thats the explosion kit... i bought both a knock off and a real one... =got both of them but the real one was alike 3 weeks longer wait.. got them in and they were both identical.. both same thickness and both exact as far as size.. maybe i got lucky and got a good knock off. but i went ahead and sold the real one to a freind about 2 days ago and kep the knock off.. my body shop guy has the knockoff right now and he is adding some thickness to it by adding more layers of fiberglass.. (jus to be safe), then i got some custom stuff done to the rear bumper, like adding the lp sportline holes.. it turned out pretty good... when i get the paint done and the kit installed.. ill post pics.. probably wont be till the end of the month wheni reutrn forom vacation... i think its good though... IMHO i thnk i got lucky and got a good knock off.. i actually was thinkin of makin a few molds and selling some (my system guy is going to make some molds. not me. but i might be tom pressed for time and just install on car)
. thanks
rick

This is the Explosion replica like Rick said. The Explosion is also basically the RMM kit. The RMM changed the front to use the stock fogs instead of the round fogs. The rear does match up well, but it was already mentioned via the RMM.

Isn't fiberglass vs. polyurethane another difference between the two?

Yes. I was just focused on the looks since we were talking about matching. Thanks for bringing that up.

To be honest with all of you, I picked my rear bumper out of a hat with all the other ones in it.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

i heard rumors too.

I hope any new rear lip / bumper will flow well with the LTuned sides skirts & TTE front lip....since alot of CL members have this combo.

Default Will L-Sport sides flow well with TTE /L-Sport rear??

Will L-Sport sides flow well with TTE /L-Sport rear?? If you need a pic for reference, Mine looks like Kajenbo's ride. TTE/L-Tuned sides/L-Sport Rear looks good on all colors except WHITE for some reason. Don't know why?? I need yoour opinions please.
Worse case scenario, I'll buy the L-sport sides to see if it flows with the TTE lip and if that don't go. Guess what next!
Yep, L-sportline front if Carson still has them.

i got the TTE lip and L-Tuned sides . . i could've sworn someone here said that L-tuned is discontinued/ getting discontinued? but if L-Tuned is coming out with a rear bumper . . i might as well wait cause i was gonna get the Veilside rear . .

I got some opinions on the TTE lip and I think it doesn't look that hot on a white car. imo
Are there any photshop masters out there that can photoshop the L-sportline Fr bumper/L-tuneds sides/L-Sportline Rr on a white car???Consider this a reuest.
