i personally believe in getting your car to move like it looks. not look like it moves.

...not that the hfc will add 100 lb-ft of torque or anything, but you get what i mean.

I always try to sway my customers away from getting CF front parts. You'll end up spending a lot of money on them and once they get the smallest crack, it's pretty much done and you either have to fix AND paint it or get something else altogether.

Why not get both? Heh, i'm getting some Berk HFC installed this saturday. I'll let you know the results. BTW, although carbon fiber looks good at first, like the Tech said, once they start developing problems, you'll need a pretty deep pocket. My advice to you is get a urethane veilside lip from intense, and your good to go. Whatever you do, do not get the replica version of the veilside as fitment is mediocre and they charge about the same price. Intense motorsports will get you a veilside urethane lip shipped for about 400 something. Hope this helped

I'm very excited about my Berks. They're going on tomorrow morning and i'll let you know the details as soon as I can. Good luck! Btw, as a heads up, Berk is offering some killer deals for maybe another week or so. PM Bryan and ask about it

I say go with the carbon fibre lip.

If you put the catelitic converters in the front bumper they will look like crap.
