you'd be surprised how much better it looks in person. I used to think this front bumper was horrible, until I saw one where I used to live. It looks pretty nice and intimidating. Also, the pic might make it worse, since it has those ugly eyelids on it

We stand behind every part we make. You raise a good point Devari in that you can't make adjustments like you can with Duraflex or another fiberglass product. With that in mind, the carbon version of this part will fit very well since there is no room for error. I see quite a bit of negativity here but nothing in the way of personal experience. We pride ourselves on our customer service. If there's something wrong with the part, we work with you to resolve the issue.

To the OP, feel free to contact me with any questions you may have and I will be more than happy to help.

i like the section were the intercooler and piping is

did see a silver z with it painted and it didnt look too bad though.

The C-West kit is amazing... the OP was referring to the ED kit which IMO isn't good at all. I've seen people with other platforms with kits from ED and you get what you pay for. Thats why its a 1/3 of a real C-West... sometimes you pay for the name brand but in this case you pay for the quality/fitment.

Full CF bumpers are good for show purposes. CF tends to chip faste than your normal painting and might irritate the daily driver of that vehile. As far as weight reduction, its not worth it. Your stock bumpers aren't that heavy already and with constant exposure to sunlight, the pieces will fade out

JM, our full line of Carbon Creations parts carry a one year warranty against fading or hazing of the clearcoat. You should know these things, you carry our parts.

While it may not seem like much, take into account the fact that no one else even offers a warranty.

If the kit needs to be "chopped" up, then something else is wrong causing the poor fitment. If there are major fitment issues such as this, we work with each case individually in order to determine the problem. If the problem is that serious, we will usually issue a replacement if we find that it is an isolated incident. If it is not isolated, we will work with you to get the issue corrected to the satisfaction of all parties ivolved.
