I need a new phone...

bullitt5897 · 01-16-2010, 12:37 PM

looking good!!! Keep us posted!

RCZ · 01-16-2010, 12:38 PM

yeah looks great so far.

6spd · 01-16-2010, 01:42 PM

I spy an RSX A-Spec/Integra Type R spoiler in the back! They are gonna paint the bumper, right?

NYBladeZ · 01-17-2010, 08:36 AM

no, I'm crazy about the look of raw carbon fiber so I plan on keeping it that way

NYBladeZ · 01-17-2010, 04:20 PM

from another angle

speedworks · 01-17-2010, 04:36 PM

So, how's the fit? Looks like some cutting was needed.

PapoZalsa · 01-18-2010, 10:51 PM

I have not seen a single piece of carbon fiber product that is perfect. That is why I quit buying carbon fiber pieces.

NYBladeZ · 01-18-2010, 11:15 PM

I highly doubt you will ever find one that is perfect that isn't extremely expensive. Overall the fit is good, yes there will be some drilling of mounting holes and a bit of grinding but hey that's what the body shop is for. With that said, expect with any large carbon fiber piece the cost for a professional install. The guys at bayspeed have a lot of experience install carbon fiber pieces and thus far are doing great.

That's looking good!

Mind if I ask the price of that bumper, that's a lot of CF!

NYBladeZ · 01-18-2010, 11:34 PM

I got a first time offer, I think they are going somewhere between $600-$800 but that's just a guess

law2004 · 01-19-2010, 02:17 AM

That looks amazing, get us some Higher quality pics after its all done!

NYBladeZ · 01-19-2010, 07:48 PM

will do, hopefully picking her up on Friday/Saturday, I have a few pics of the front bumper I'll get those on

NYBladeZ · 01-19-2010, 07:53 PM

Yes, I know the silver grill has to be painted black, I'll get around to it when warmer days reach NY

m4a1mustang · 01-19-2010, 07:55 PM

cool. can't help but think the car's just going to look like patchwork with just raw CF.
