he kept with the do-luck for over a year and they never sent it to him! I'd give him props for holding out that long

One problem with the kit in case someone else goes this route (that should be addressed by C-West if they're gonna sell this kit to the public and not keep it just for Super Taikyu):

The new rear bumper where the license plate goes is "open". You can see from the pics through and the structure of the car. The license plate doesn't cover the hole as you can see from the pics........so what to do. Well after days of no response from C-West, my painter and I decide to hack up the OEM bumper and glass it in since it has the license plate mounts anyway.........







The repaired area's where we used my rear bumper as a donor:

A few teaser pics. Look's like I get to pic her up tomorrow.

Keep in mind the front bumper isn't attached, I just wanted some pics. Also, I take terrible pics. LOL

If I'm not mistaken, seems you've been waiting on no-luck as long as I've been on this site. Sorry it did'nt work out.

I would really like to know as well. I've scoured the intraweb for pics, but I can't find any that are hi-res and semi-close up to tell what they do on the Super Taikyu race cars. All I can see is some kind of C-West plate in that area. Still no word back from them. It was a pretty simple fix, I'm just curious what they say.

I'm actually glad it didn't work out with No-Luck. I really like the fact that this kit is sooooooooo much more aggressive than the No-Luck, but the SB color subdue's it somewhat. <---I don't know if that made any sense whatsoever.

Actually, longer........that's pretty sad, huh???

Believe it or not, it has worked out for the best. I'm actually glad I canceled the order and went with this kit. Just wish I would've done it sooner now. LOL

Damn... nice. Cant wait to see more. I gotta ask, was the install and paint match a bank breaker? It just looks spot on everywhere.

I might be a bit partial, but I think black just makes it look all that much better. Im going to have a tough time choosing my kit now.
