I'm not a fan of vents for the sake of vents. ie not functional. I initialy was thinking the small low openings on the bar were just that. after some more thought I reckon the lower vents may actually help duct air past a big front mount intercooler.

the other vents next to the oil-cooler openings look less functional but I'd probably fit the fog lights in them anyway.

I guess they're not complete yet! It seems like they take 1 step forward, and then go back 2 steps. Hopefully it'll be done soon..

I like the second one better! So much cleaner without the two extra holes on the bottom

Rotr8 02-08-2010 08:33 PM

I agree, its alot more of a unified design now. I really like it now,,,

Looks cleaner without them but may function to get air past a fmic

So much cleaner, those vents were my problem with the bumper initially. Loving it!

Looks better but they can still clean it up some more. I would like to see them remove the other two small openings, reduce the oil cooler ducts a bit and smooth out the lower lip.

If they did that it wouldnt be a C-West design anymore,,,

It would be C-West with pdxhak's input :)

bumblebeerx8 02-09-2010 06:25 PM

i plan on putting fog lights in the small oil cooler openings

Bump! I thought the car was going to be complete in time for the 2010 Auto Messe Show, which is this weekend.

Stoked!

RX8sd 02-14-2010 03:49 AM

it would look good with a big front mount inside.....otherwise maybe some back mesh? I'm loving that kit

ЯX-8 02-16-2010 08:59 PM

Bump! The kit looks like it's soon to be complete! I can't wait to see it finally painted..

lookin' quite good.

pdxhak 02-16-2010 11:47 PM

Looking better but still not liking the lower profile. I think it would look so much better if the lower lip went all the way around the bumper.

since they removed the other two holes it really looks familiar.. it has the same layout, but it is quite different. much more angular.

i like it a lot.

SiLVeRE8 02-23-2010 06:13 AM

bump for updates...?

ЯX-8 02-23-2010 09:54 PM

Bump! It seems that things have slowed down due to their other project (2009+ Honda Insight) that's also under developement for a new body kit. Hopefully the body kit will be complete sometime soon.
