Default CARBON CREATIONS Need OPINIONS!

I recently cracked my frunt bumper and I was thinking of getting a bumper that would show off my greddy front mount.

Any suggestions??

I was thinking of getting the carbon creations but I dunno how good they are when it comes to quality and fitment.

Where did you find that greddy knock off in urethane and how much was it?

Does anyone make a top secret look-alike in urethane??

SOrry bro, didn't mean to offend. I can see how they are not the same however they do share a slight resemblance. I like it, especially if it fits right coz that's what really matters! Does it come with primer? Because I have a UTR lip that came primered and my body shop complained about how hard it was to remove (it had to be removed because it chipped) and they actually charged me substantially more to paint it because it took 3 days to remove the stuff that was on there.

sorry I reread my input and it wasn't meant to be that tone. haha it doesn't come primered.. It comes in bare urethane.

No harm done. I'm definitely looking into getting this bumper though.

Yes,

KurumaZ is definately the way to go!

Much better than the Greddy and not as low either so you don't have to worry about scraping the crap outta the lip!

I've had it on since February. Give me a ring if you want to take a look at it.
