i have the cwest kit and the front bumper really makes the car look amazing. I would really reccomend getting the carbon fiber splitters because they make it stand out a lot more.

Yea kits are a bit heavier that the stock bumpers, but why should you worry about weight if you are not running an 8 sec car.-
(this is not intended to you directly, but to what people think of weight against speed)
What difference will it make on a SC S2K running high-mid 12s if you have a bumper that weights 10 pounds or 20 pounds, u can make up for the difference by taking out the passanger seat or taking out the spare tire.-
So in reality, you sacrifice Speed by having more weight when you have a full blown race car, and you are worried about 10ths of a sec.-
For example, the guy that ran 8s, he knocked off a few 10ths of a second just by adjusting the stiffness on his shocks.- When you have a full blown race car, thats when weight really matters, otherwise why should someone care about running 0.10 of a sec faster by knocking of 10 lbs (or making their car look like shit by taking out their interior and only run .10 of a sec faster).-
But to return to the subject... someone buy this bumper!!!!
U KNOW U WANT IT!!!!!!!!!

if you talk about weight taking time off its 0.10 for every 100 pounds. so if the bumper weighs 10 lbs more then your gaining 0.001 of a second, but on the other hand, you are improving aerodynamics with this bumper and getting cold air in the engine since the air dam on the real cwest bumper goes all the way back to the ac cooler and rushes the air into the engine compartment.
who ever buys this bumper will not be disappointed.
