Default Is there C-West replica front bumper?

Is there any C-West replica front bumper that is not carbon fiber? I've only found one replica and it is carbon fiber as well. I'll be painting the front bumper so I don't car for carbon fiber.

Thanks.

There are nothing but crappy Cwest copies for our Z's. There are good copies of the Nismo stuff, but this is not the case for Cwest. Go for the real thing as Carbon Creations is by far one of the worst companies in the body kit arena

LOL, I am but in this case it is pretty bad. Ask any competent body shop that has pride in their work and they will tell you about their experience with "Extremely Dimensioned" aka Carbon Creations aka Extreme Dimensions all one in the same and = crap

Agreed 100%, other then the aerosync products, I have no respect for the quality of these other companies. The extra amount of work/labor your shop has to do in order to make it look right, is not worth the extra $$$ you could have spent on the original.

Yes, that is all they have. Here is their website. Talk to Daiji (pronounced Die-jee) and tell him that Rick with the Sun Auto 350z sent you

$375 before shipping. Has anyone delt with Extreme Deminsions?

check post #4 in this thread and read on down. Rickdogg has just explained their quality.

I have to agree with Rickdogg as I've personally seen some extreme dimensions kits.

Buy the real thing.

Ah, missed that one.

Nitrouz, did you check out the nissan350z.ca forum? Some guy in Vancouver is selling this bumper already painted black.

I think he bought it from extreme deminsions. I sent him some questions on the quailty and his experience.
