Hey!

My bumper is a bit scratched up here & there & I want to replace it with an aftermarket one as I've had no luck finding any suitable lips.

Here is one that I wouldn't have considered if not for it showing up on ebay for a ridiculously cheap price (around $AU240 shipped to my door) but the more I look at it the more it appeals to me. It's the Carcept bumper & I'd previously only ever seen the shitty promo pics of the kit on a red Tiburon, which didn't do it any favours (the rest of the kit is fvckin' hideous btw).




What are your thoughts?

that's really NICE!!!! i say go for it if you trust the seller and it fits well!! I think that's the best aftermarket bumper i've ever seen next to the ballzy formula 2.

if you could make some home made foglight housings for it out of fiberglass, painted and inserted in there it would look even better!

I like it, very nice choice.

Isnt that perfect for a AEM cai wink1.gif 1,000,000 more hp from the boost created. Well the nice cold air with little restriction should help anyways.

nicely said and to the point hot rod. you were jealous of all the stuff we can get in the U.S. now i think i'm jealous of the things i cannot get over in AU.

that would look hot in your color too. i don't think you even need our approval. i just can't wait to see pics on your car!

I'd buy it just for the functionality. (but I already have a bumper waiting in LA) =(

First pic ain't a bad two-tone either... (cept the colors)

The Carcept kit is getting quite populair here in Holland.
It's a nice subtle bumper, on certain colors you think it's stock.. Like it rolled like that out of the factory

You could mount some huge fog lights like the WRX has in the openngs beside the main grill.
