Default opinion needed: OEM bumper w/ fog light or C-west front and rear bumper

i recently cracked my front bumper and came accross a C-west front and rear bumper.

Current:

C-West front and rear bumper

i say get the Cwest just because 90% of ht have stock with lips and because C-west makes good aerodynamic products.

OEM w/fogs. Nice and simple. Kits are easier to crack.

The CWestin only looks good if you've got a big ******* intercooler hanging out the front.

Keep the oem. It looks nice with a lip and fogs and if you happen to crack the oem again its cheap unlike replacing the cwest.

thz for the input guys
i kinda want the C-West since they're REAL and it's DIRT CHEAP
but the only thing holding me back is the fog light since i really like them and there's no way to put the fog light onto the C-West bumper -__-
plus another thing is maybe I'll need to get a set of side skirt to match the bumpers. LOL

just get whatever you like...most people in H-T only think bumper with lip is JDM, and body kit is rice...for me the C-west body kit is just fine.

Edit..and don't run your C-west front and rear without some matching sideskirt, the stock will make it look like crap

And you're retarted.

Body kit's are a bad Idea for Daily drivers because repairing them will become expensive.

Fix your current one

I just wanna put in my 2 cents. I have an EM1 and have had it since 00. I currently have kit on it and have had several kits on it. I am now going back to OEM. Boby kits are the biggest f'en pain in the ***. OEM is definately in and the way to go. Its clean, everything fits perfect, which body kits dont, and you can still go OEM and add your own simple style to it. So now 1000's of dollars later I am turning back to what my Em1 one was. These guys on here have some of the cleanest looking cars I have seen and its definately the way to go. Just my 2 pennies
