Default Pics of new Asuka Type 1 Bumper Installed

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum and I just thought I would share some pics of my new Asuka front bumper.

Mod List:
Carbon Creations Drifter 2 Sides
Carbon Creations Drifter 2 Rear
Asuka Type 1 Front
19" Axis Penta Rims

Next mod will be lowering springs for sure.

But, the kit has potential if painted correctly.

Good ideas but bad execution. All black wheels might help but the silver clashes with your theme.

WTF with the front lip?

CF rear just doesn't look right. Kinda like those ricer kids with Teggys that roll with unpainted body kits. Paint everything yellow but show off the CF around the rear muffs.

The rear definitely is tooooooooooo harsh. Not awful, but like everyone has said, paint all the pieces yellow and get some black wheels, and you are set.

yeah....clashes way too much. The black on the front bumper, then silver wheels, then carbon skirts, then all that carbon on the rear bumper is too crazy.

Paint the entire Kit yellow, black wheels are a must, if you really want more black accents then paint your doorhandles black and maybe do some black canards. Car has potential but just looks poorly done right now. No offense, but it looks like you were in a big rush to put it together and by doing so you half-assed it.

thanks for the input guys. I really like the idea of black chrome for the wheels!

I'm trying to phase out the CF right now. So I don't think I'm going to get a CF hood. When I bought the car it had the full carbon fiber body kit and it looked terrible. All the lines of the car were completely thrown off with the harsh contrast. So the Asuka front bumper is MY first official mod for the car after the wheels.

Something is seriously wrong here! I don know if its the front, the paint or the a combination of both! This is of course my opinion.

paint the whole car black. J/K, black wheels will improve your theme quite nicely
