looks like INGS+TSUNAMI+BUDDYCLUB+VEILSIDE+R-MAGIC all-in-one maybe in the EURO it will sell but FAIL for whoever buys one here.

Zumn, are you actually giving an opinion on bumpers?

Anyways, it's about time. C-West produced quite a number of functional parts for the FD. Not a fan, but it doesn't look too bad, a bit on the aggressive side and it screams C-WEST.

hmmmm - interesting...

front looks like a combination of things like zumn said. I see the Buddy Club front grill - Hints of the INGs +1 on the bottom corners of the front - the oil cooler slits look kinda like the mint blue/ings - the sides def look like veilside tho.

too many lines IMO. Iono why people insist on making so many jagged (sp) lines on our bodykits.

agreed this thing could have been much better if it didnt have so many lines and corners. I really just dont like that part thats right in front of the oil cooler.

I think it looks exactly the way its supposed to look like a C-West kit... And is looks damn sexy... Its great to see big name tuners still dedicated to serving such a niche market,,,
If there is any kit that most closely resembles C-West's design language its Odula's 2nd kit,,,

the side skirts look like veilside.

the front is characteristic Cwest but some of the initial design concepts have been lost in translation. I wish more kits kept the wheel arch lines like the original concept art tried to do.
