i personally like the way it looks. i like a more aggressive front end on a car. the sc is smooth up front and a few corners wouldnt hurt it.
personal opinions though. if this bumper wouldve fit better im sure remarks would be a bit more positive.
but please people stop saying "these aren't civic's and eclipse's" ... its just getting old. SC's are not Ferrari's! you can't bash to hard on a car thats in the same price range now-a-days... even though the SC use to be worth a whole lot more brand new when they came out compared to hondas

guaranteed fitment means it will fit the SC... it doesn't meant it will have good proper fitment with nice gaps.
pics speak for themselves... I'd hate to see a high res picture of this kit because even in these tiny pixelated pics you can see how bad it fits.

^ Other way around. Soarers were introduced in 1981.
IMO the kit doesn't flow, replica or not. I think something along the lines of a 97~ front bar with moulded subtle lip would sell pretty well.

And just to add my own .02. For all of you guys complaining this kit is garbage, not everyone is down for the cookie cutter Vertex kit. Most are reps anyway. The Phenix Target Street Attacker kit was made for the track. There is a saying that people have forgotten these days when it comes to cars. Function> Form.
Is it a copy of the Target front bumper? Sure it is. And if it's named "TR-G" and it looks like the Target bumper, I'm pretty sure ED already knows that. And it's fine to point it out, but at least keep it civil. SC owners are having a hard time as it is keeping the "class" in the car and not seeing it turn into some stereotypical "oh it's the new Civic/Integra/240sx/blah blah" stuff. If "staying classy" is a big deal, then how about respond with class? Just a thought really.
I kinda like it. Well I like the Target front, but as pointed out in previous posts there should be more clarity in the words "guaranteed fitment" and what exactly that means in the real world.

^agree, i could say more but im sure its been said somewhere else/
but wasnt the SC first compared to the jzz30 chassis's?
also more pics of the phenix target kit because it looks so good!
this is supposed to be the older rep of the target kit and it fit pretty decent for a fiberglass bumper from raceonusa
