yet another question... front bumper?
 
if i get a c-west or buddy club front bumper, would it look weird if i didn't get a rear bumper and side skirts to go with it?

I see alot of people do that. Just make sure that you get it painted before you slap it in.

btwn the two, which do you suggest?

That's a tough choice man. I'm not a big fan of body kits. I like the OEM look and neither of those appeal to me. I like the Kombat and Tsunami if somebody ever points a gun on me to buy a body kit. Otherwise, I would rather get a GReddy GRacer front lip, Tsunami front lip, or Mugen front lip..... Sorry. That didnt help much :(

lol, it's all good.... that's the thing about both of em, is they look really oem... it's weird that you like the tsunami, unless i dont know what you're talkin about... the ones i'm lookin at are OEM-ish, and incorporate the grille for a cleaner look... i just can't decide... both of em are kinda expensive.

get a REAL CWest kit...theyre super sexy and the best kit out there...the price shows it too

yeah what pdig said...

wheresmylicense 07-17-2003 02:03 AM

and it'll still look good if all i get is the bumper?

sohc_vtec 2NR 07-17-2003 11:26 AM

i think so...if i could afford a real c-west kit i sure would do it to mine

pdiggitydogg 07-17-2003 04:20 PM

it will look a little strange...but not awful

the real cwest kit doesnt have a bumper that is enormously huge compared to the stock one...maybe 2.5" lower tops

you could probably get away with cwest knock-offs in the rear and skirts, if theyre good urethane, later on. A complete cwest kit costs 3x what cheap kits cost...the front alone is like $400

actually, it's closer to 500...

the front bumper should look fine in most cases my step-brother did that on his 94 before getting the back and skirts and it looked fine but he also had the a shop put it on then repaint the whole car at the same time. the only thing I'd suggest is that you get it painted to match the car soon after or see if you can find a shop that will put it on then paint it or else it will probably look dumb until its painted I say that since he now has the rear and skirts on and it lookes neat but a little wierd not having those painted yet

C west DEFINITELY with BC sides and back would be hotter than any girl. even an imitation is fine as long as its urethane. Imma do that with a wingswest bigmouth cause its already on teh car, The xenon back looks gay casue it dont hang down far. Id say get hte whole kit.
