Can anyone comment on their quaility? I'm planning on getting the full kit (bumper, sides, rear skirts, spoiler) and want to know if I should expect to do alot of tweaking to get it installed or will it bolt right on? I have some experience with FG bodykits and they usually require alot of work to make them look good. Should I expect blemishes that need refinishing? Is the mat usually laid out pretty straight so the "grain" isn't wavy? Thanks for any input.

BTW, I ask because I don't plan on painting the parts. I also plan on getting the Seibon VS hood, fenders, door skins and hatch eventually.

I plan on buying from Intense Power. They any good (customer service, shipping time, etc...)?

I will give you a little input on CC products. I ordered a front lip from a local shop last year. Once the lip came in i went to pick it up and test fit the CF front lip. Well there was NO fitment! The lip was just NOT going to fit on the car. The shop sent it back and they sent back a "new" lip. Once we got the new lip the CF looked like a mess. The person that made the lip must have been drunk because the weaves were all off and the qulity was just bad. The clear coat on some parts was turning yellow.

I know some people on this site have CC products and they have had no issues but there are also a lot that have. Do a search on this fourm for CC and you will see a few post and comments on CC.

I would save my money and buy something else. As for Intense Power they are a very good company. I have bought a few things from them and never had any problems.

Should I maybe skip the whole CF car thing and go with a painted Aerosync bumper instead? My bumper is toast, so I need to replace it. Should I just do a stock bumper with a lip kit?

BTW, I searched "carbon creations" and didn't see any posts about their quality.

Stick with Seibon when it comes to carbon fiber parts. If they dont make it go with the authentic C-west or something. PM me about Seibon stuff !

Right now, I need a bumper. I don't think Seibon makes one.

I didn't think Nismo made CF parts. Is that a "Nismo style" bumper? If so, who makes it?
