If it's urethane, you should definitely do it. Minus the shipping, the price seems good and urethane will take track abuse better than fiberglass.

The brake ducts would work well in your application and you could tie some aluminum into the front splitter to make a functional belly pan.

If it is fiberglass, you couldn't pay me to use it. That would get torn up real quick on the track.

Man, that is awful. I get it if you've got a race car and need all the scoops, vents, and ground effect... but if I saw it on the street, I would probably laugh. Sorry.

Not too bad its 100% functional while still having nice lines to it. It would look pretty good on an autox setup.

This is obviously a really bad photoshop/hack but this at least takes away the glaring white and adds a grill. Both in my opinion help it out tremendously...

kind of reminds me of the new edge cobra "r" bumper with the lip like that.

It's a little bit "chunky", but I kinda dig it

Need to see it complete with all hardware and painted before I make a decision...hard to tell

I like the one piece design. No breaks in the lines just smoothness throughout. I'd rock it!

Doesn't look bad, but as stated I'd have to see it painted with all the accessories

I need to see it complete but I like what I see.

I don't mind it.

those air inlets for the breaks are nice

I too would like to see it complete. So far it's got a lot of potential.

All of this. BUT, CAN those brake duct inlets TRULY be plumbed properly for such? If so, Id be ALL over it.

sorry I wasn't trying to spend to much time on it. see if this helps

Pretty good.

This is obviously a really bad photoshop/hack but this at least takes away the glaring white and adds a grill. Both in my opinion help it out tremendously...

Ditto above. Whos a PShop wiz in here whos willing to take the time to make this look good?

And yes, HAS to be urethane.

That looks awesome to me. I'd do it if my bumper ever gets mangled up from someone misparking or something, I already got a badly repaired part on my stock bumper that the dealer must have done before I got the car used. Only issue I see is how much damage that lower lip can take without cracking off the entire bumper. Also, one could throw aftermarket fogs (might take some effort to find right size) in those brake duct openings if you didn't want to use them as ducts.

Looks clean from the front view. I would like to see the finished version also.

Well their customer service sucks, I've sent them two emails and have received a big fat NOTHING back. I'll give them a call and hopefully someone will pick up!
