Front black out kit for 09 gts

Hey guys I was looking on rrm.com and saw that they have a couple of pieces for the front bumper to black it out like the ralliart and the evo are. Do any of you guys have those pieces installed on your car? If any of you do could you post some pics of your car and how you like or dislike it. Here is a pic with there carbon fiber grill , bumper cap and splitter. What do you think?

I have the splitter and plan to get the other 2 parts. There is a thread somewhere of people with just the bumper cover. try a search for RRM carbon fiber bumper cap.

high grit sand paper - $1

Here is my CF bumper cap....Overall I'm very pleased with it. It's hard to see the weave with the angle I took but the weave on it is almost perfect.

Hey adamkean your car looks great thats excatly what I was looking for. Hey did you buy your grill or did you just pull it out and paint the chrome trim. Also since you have the bumper cap do you think it would be durable enough for me drill small holes in it for my front plate bracket?

Thanks man. I just pulled the chrome part out and painted it. As for the front plate bracket...I wouldn't drill into it. I would buy the side plate bracket that comes on the Evo and mount your plate that way. You don't wanna cover the CF piece that you just spent $200 on. Hope that helps

If you are not sure about painting you can always use vinyl to cover the area, I have on mine for more than a year and is cheap and looks good too

Harsh Economic times...

You don't want to spend 200 dollars on something you could
spend 20 dollars on and get essentially the same thing.

Be wise with your money

ahhh...sorry. I did scuff it up alittle but didn't clear it. That's why there are so many chips on it. It's just temporary anyways til I either get a diff grill or have it redone.
