Default Carbon Fiber JDM front end conversion only 3g's

Ok so I am going to be getting a jdm conversion and I happened to come across this site that makes the whole thing in grade A carbon fiber and it doesn't even cost that much more then the actual metal conversion......



Think its a good idea and price? or should I just go for the metal?

hmm id just stick with a metal one unless its gonna be a track only car or show only. I dont think the carbon fiber would hold up that well in a crash... it would be a waste of 3gs . To each his own, though.

lmao, I cant believe it costs MORE than the oem metal front! thats rediculous, it should be cheaper as to convince people to buy it... I guess not, carbon fiber bling owns you.

You'd HAVE TO paint the bumper and fenders. Sometime's there is such a thing as too much. I think the hood and lip look good carbon fiber.

i'd be interested to see the weight difference between the oem metal and the cf front complete. maybe it would be worth the extra $$ if its much lighter .. then just get it painted to match the car

Get the OEM metal. The fitment with that is probably insanely off,.

good lord , 3Gs ?!?!! you can get 2 good condition used metel front ends for that much . is the oem metal that heavy that you would need this for weight savings ? only thing i could see being heavy would be the hood .
