IMHO the Accolade R1 FB's are the best looking out of all of them. Check out this link for pics and a Group buy on them https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...threadid=56168

me too....all this time I thought "real" race cars used carbon fiber parts for weight shaving and added rigidity. But in truth they just wanted some bling-bling.....

somebody here got the kansai and put it on an apex silver, and it looked way sexy. Espeically if your just going with a front bumper replacement, it completely changes the character of the car: More agressive front end look thats closer to the 7. I'll try and find the link...

Like someone suggested in that link, I'd paint the center post black and put a diamond star emblem on it.

i think carbon fiber hoods by themselves affect so little that it truly is for the bling factor... maybe with a trunk, door panels, fenders... but by itself? i still haven't seen a cf hood with substantial weight loss compared to stock...

that doesn't mean i don't want one.

I like the Kansai bumper better than Gialla.

Thats wat I got I'looks good from all angle and really looks Phat with a 1.5" drop .... and if you ever go to a bigger IC It has the biggest hole.... (and that cold air scoop is the best for questions ... you don't need to sit around with your Hood up the peeps come and ask wat -u-got all on their own) Oh and the B-shop that did mine said they have NEVER had an aftermarket FRP part fit so well. They were amazed... Picts to follow

I saw robi's car yesterday. The C-West bumper goes very well with the stock side and rear. Too bad no one has that bumper in stock right now
I might just have to get the Gialla.

Sal check out this video of the cyber evo which has a C-West front bumper and no side skirts or rear bumper. Lots of good shots of the front bumper.
