Bumper and fenders carbon...had some front end damage and some fender dents so
I went all out and did the front end....but I'm thinking that I might get a CF hood and then tie it together in the back with trunk lid etc.

that was harsh. cover your mouth up like you got sars.
lol no but really...i'm gonna say and I wish i had more hands.
Not trying to be mean (even though that kinda was) but i just dont like the grillz on automobillz, or CF for that matter. Plus, I dont like the lip ..err..bumper...whatever you got going on there.
Stock front ends with factory lips FTW. just my opinion, though.

Re: (tmkpres)
Thanks for the great comments folks ...the carbon was to cover up front end damage, and yeah I know it doesn't look the best now, but it's a work in progress ... So thanks to all the people who used their brain to reply to this thread, and the short bus is coming for all the others who didn't 
p.s. - the total for the parts were $1000 and the install was $550....

Re: (n0body)
more like adding weight... seibon CF hood is heavier and the stock hood.. lol
only if you replace the door to dry carbon to get most of the weight... other than that, its pretty much waste of money...

you asked for opinions, man. They cant all be good. I mean we're just being honest. The CF look is kinda tired. The grill is....not good. The bumper is kinda nasty. I'll remind you again, that you asked for opinions. If you're saying the carbon was to cover up front end damage....I'm just sayin that OEM fenders and hood and bumper would have covered it up too. You could have saved on installation charges ($550?!!!!!). You never said what your intentions with the car were...if you were gonna paint it or whatever. You just asked "what do you think?"

Re: (B serious)
You want us to use our brain, but you obviously didn't use yours when choosing replacement parts for the car.
The mesh looks cheap and so does the bumper. You basically are downgrading and we'd rather point you in the right direction. Be happy we're critical.

Re: (papa5murf)
the grill is now painted black and the weight is not my main issue I know the bumper and fenders weigh less than stock but probably about 5-10lbs. @ most...is there anyone who does like it?
