IMO i do not think the cwest kit is "rice" nor overdone. It is also not a fact that u would have to adjust ur IC piping in order for it to fit... Having had both on my car... the clearance is no different from a oem bumper with aftermarket lip... ur car ur choice...
OEM with CF Lip:

C-West fitment (no adjustments were necessary)

Perfect Fitment

Photoshopped Finish:

im gonna revive this because i can!
the kit that you bought is that real cwest? if so why do they come green? i thought high quality japanese body parts come with a different finish? if so then what company/brand are those. if so then where did you bought it at? and for how much? plus any recent pics of it?

C-West kits do not come painted that color It is a black color that they come in. Is that C-West or is it a rep??

I just read some the following comments and Wow! Not impressed at all with some posts about the stock bumpers.

When it comes down to aesthetics, it's all your choice and preference. Go with whatever you like best.

its the AIT Racing CW body kit if you must know. all there parts come primed green. its crappy primer and kits come in rough so you will have to do some major prep work to get it paintable but once its done its comes out clean of course. i have same kit. I have a brand new ait cw rear still in plastic if you like the rear. I ended up getting a real jdm rear

pretty ugly rear to be honest looks like a new corolla rear without the lights. the jdm rear or even the actual cwest rear looks better

You're kidding me right? There is a reason for most people rocking a similar look and that is because it looks GOOD. You won't see me throwing **** on my car just to look different.
