Allright, so i can get this cuda bumper VERY cheap:

But the catch is: they only HAVE the front bumper.
But it's going for 140 euros (original one, no replica!)
I CAN some of the kit elsewehere, but it's gonna cost me mucho dinero (rear bumper 325 euro).
I did mail the guys of the front bumper, asking if they can get me the rest for a reasonable price.

So I guess I want to know what's the opinion of you guys, do or don't?

I think it will look very weird without the sideskirts and back bumper.

i don't know what euros to US Currency (dollars) is, but if it's cheap and you like the kit i'd say go for it and find the rest of the kit. personally i don't like the kit though. if it were me, i would save up for another kit. i'm thinking cuda 2 front, with club gtr side skirts and rear add ons. or just a full club gtr kit. as long as you like it go for it.

good luck fing02.gif

Lol, I don't mean just put on the front and nothing else, I mean, buying this and searching (while storing the bumper) for the rest?

1 Euro = 1.3126 U.S. dollar
140= 183.76 usd

That's what I'd do, if you can get a good deal, grab it! Esp since the kit looks great.

Okay, I think I'll go for it, but I'm gonna wait for them to return my e-mail. Maybe I'll just call 'em tomorrow. Right now, i gotta get some sleep, it's night time, and I gotta get up early for a funeral 02.gif .

^^
Personally I tihnk the roundness of the cuda1 goes great with the allround flow of the car. I'm also a big fan of the clubgtr, but I can't get it anywhere over here.

I had a conversation about getting the Cuda Kit from other sources with someone recently, and these are the things you cannot get anymore:

Fog Lights (They are however Hyundai OEM Foglights So you can order them, from Korea. Still don't know what car.)
Fog Light Rings
Grill Inserts
Exhuast Tips
"500 Limited Edition" Badges
Cuda Designs Chrome Emblem
Limited Edition Number Badges (I have 238/500)
"CUDA C1" Body Badging
"Cuda Designs" Etched into all body pieces

I'm not sure if you can get the spoiler either.

Well, the only thing of that list that I nwould want are the foglights, but the rest doesn't really get to me.
If I can get my hands on the skirts and rear bumper, I'm a happy camper smile.gif.
The exhaust well, I can get some shop hook me up with a double one, no need for the tips there.
And badges, well... I like it clean anyway so laugh.gif .

I am worried about another thing though, in my country tail fog lights (at least one) are necessary by law.
So I dunno how I'd do that. Maybe hang the original ones in that bumper? Dunno if that looks allright tho.

I say go for the Cuda!
If you really like the kit then jump on every deal you can.


oh, I was wondering if you could post up a pic about these rear fog lights. Does your current tib come with stock rear fog lights? I've never seen!
