gotta go with Aznflip

RMR Lip type 1. its a more subtle look.

that and becaus i have one on my car.

 

dude, i was a touch skeptical on the difference of poly urethane vs. fiberglass until yesterday. we were putting nextgens lancer up on ramps to get underneath it, but his kaminari front bump hung a touch too low. he said "screw it" and rode the bumper on the ramp probably 8 inches until the tire even hit: lemme tell you, the bumper didn't even care, just flexed a little bit and took its beating, then bounced back. i guarantee fiberglass would NOT do that.

 

Oh yeah, I'll take that CF Front Bumper off your hands....then I just need you to buy me fenders as well

I'd prefer the Kenstyle myself...guess thats why I went with it in the first place. Though some might say that the rear bumper sticks out a little too far...but I think it just make it look different, in a good way. Plus, add a Evo VIII spoiler to that look...man, one sweet ride. Can't wait till my car is fixed and the entire Ken kit is painted. This kit also will work well with turbo kits...big open air front end for large ic. Good luck with your choice.

 

Rigo, yeah I still need your bumper. Even though I said the kaminari would be the best, and I think that it is, I'm going like everybody else though with RRMs evo7 front end, but, I'm going in all cf.

 

so for the most part, the kenstyle would have room for my ic, but if i get a carbon fiber style, 1 will it match a white car (very well might idk) and 2 will it take a beating like the poly urethane types? bumb so u smart guys can tell me

 

It's cf, so it should be pretty strong, ask lookslikeanevo since he's got a cf front bumper. As for it being on a white car, I think it would look sweet.

 

im skeptical on CF for ends. yeah they are stronger, but do they have flex? im thinkin no. If im wrong please forgive me. so in my head, because i live in NY im thinkin, hit a deep pot hole, your front dips, your CF bumper hits the street, and CRACK!!!!! bye bye CF bumper.

Poly Urethane is the material i would choose for body kit. strong yet flexible. given example by green psycho best sums it up. My own experience have a RMR frontlip that has gone through many potholes and still going. Only thing that harmed the kit was me unable to move around a chunk of ice that was shoveled into the road. at 40 CRACK. but that would happen to any kit.

as far as looks go i dont think CF bumpers look good at all unless the rest of the car is either black, grey, or all CF. thats my .02

 

most likely you are correct about cf. in fact, i know you are correct and i had the same worry

is carbon fiber strong? sure, however, is it flexible? perhaps some processes make it more flexible than others, but when you soak the thing in epoxy, it becomes hard and brittle. cf is good for some body pieces, but like you said, i'm not sure about front ends or something that really needs to give to prevent cracking

 

My cf front end has gone through some pot holes, and still holding strong... It hasn't even gotten a single rock chip to this date. I am surpriised... all you guys cry about a cf front end not being strong enough... but to crack a cf front end... it takes a lot of force, like and accident, which i bet would be the same for a poly urethane kit.

 

its all gonna depend on what kind of style u want. I like the kaminari because its different but not too flashy, and its polyurthane, and like green pyscho said, I have put that thing through hell and back and its still in great shape. If u like the real subtle look then go for lip from from rmr. everybody has a different taste, and it willl just depend on what u like

 

OT: whoa Jay, I noticed your post cost drop about 200.

Btw: do you have new pic of your ride?

 

HUh Drop about 200? also... i don't wanna post pics of my ride, i am embarrased, it don't have an intercooler ne more

 

i love these threads

 

nah man, you need to reread. everyone agrees cf is strong. thats no question

however, what we ARE questioning is the flexibility of it, and frankly, cf is not flexible when doused in epoxy. perhaps the "dry weave" is more flexible, i dunno
