I like the m power bumber(bmw m3 bumber) from what ive seen in the proto type pics. does anyone have this bumper on their tc? if you do i would appreciate if you would post pics. Oh and if any of you have a nb tc that would be great too. thanks!

I don't have an M-3 bumper but I do have a nb tC. I've seen a few pictures of it and I think it looks awesome.

wut u think?? more pics to come when im all done with it so stay tuned and i'll update u guys soon

i gotta say not bad... I'm kinda digging it lol

does the front bumper have less ground clearance than the stock bumper? cuz my stock bumper is kinda effed up and i want the mpower bumper to replace it, without gettin the side skirts and the rear bumper

whoaa i think it looks good... im likein that blue carbon fiber tho thats cool

Whoa! Where the heck did you get the bumper in Carbon Fiber?

I want to see that car in person. It looks amazing.

the c/f is all custom made.... i wanted my m-power to be different so i stand out from the crowd... glad u guys like it though! when it's all done imma post up pics so i can see wut u guys think, watch out for that

i wonder if it comes in poly urethane, fiber glass sux.













mods: tyc tail lights, trd cold air intake, trd exaust :come:

i love that hood...wonders where you got it from? :-D

lol keivn stole the thread haha

Love that shade of blue!!!!

isnt that the kaminari reverse cawl hood....ya it is :love:

I think I've just been sold on the kaminari carbon fiber hood. It was always either that or the ait one for me...

i liked the ait one but i heard it leaves a noticable gap on both sides

I really like the color and the body kit. Nice job.

i like the car...however, i do not like the c/f surrounding the grille, all the other c/f is nice but the one around the grille just isnt doing it for me... I LOVE THE CAR THOUGH, ever since i saw it, when it was solid blue i loved it :love:

car looks sick . love the color and the carbon ... but is it just me or does it not look flush on the front fenders ...look like fitment is off

^^^ Well im having the same problem with my M-Power front bumper. Im trying to get it fixed. Trying to get time to drop my car off at the bodyshop to see what they can do.

I think it's clear this guy has carbon fiber vinyl laid down on top of his bodykit, which he's trying to pass off as real carbon fiber. Why lie man? it still looks nice.

Not bad, but would rather spend my money on making go faster!

Duh...making IT go faster. That's what happens when I try to do 2 things at once....... :rofl:

looks good rather it is overlay cf or real cf the ish looks phat

ITS REAL CARBON FIBER

umm, no I can see the lines where it was cut and isnt perfectly lined up with the bottom of the top portion of the front bumper. Looks like he cut it out haphazardously and just slapped it on there actually. I'm getting the m power rear bumper and putting some carbon fiber vinyl in the middle portion, not like it matters it still looks good.

OMFG...thats real bro, i have talked with him, its REAL

Heres a couple of pics Kevin and I took together of our cars about 2 weeks ago:

I'm installing my grills tomorrow, its going to look allot better with those on, hey Kevin are you stopping by Josh's shop tomorrow, I heard about your side view mirror incident, sucks man, but on the bright side, you'll get to see the TRD supercharger he is installing in one of his friends tC :D.

Dude there is no CF Vinyl that looks even close to that. The "lines" you see are where it was masked and painted. :loser:

ey bro u need to get yur eyes checked or maybe yur juss unfamiliar with carbon fiber but that is real and i did pay an arm and a leg to get it custom made... go get some c/f vynil and compare it....

not my taste but its not bad looking either :P

Alright whatever, shoulda just got vinyl, itd be a cockload cheaper.

^^^Ricer in Denial^^

:rofl:

Wow, so now its rice :roll: , hey Kevin, don't even worry about it, allot people here think everythig aftermarket is "Rice", this topic is getting a little bit off topic, the mods might have to lock this one soon.

^^ Pay attention! I wasn't calling Keith Rice .

Who is Keith? if you mean Kevin, my bad, I miss-understood your comment.

Sowwie man thats a nice car and all, but when I first looked at it I thought the car was trying to kiss me.

It looks kinda like a carp. :rofl:

How am I a ricer? I'm not the one with carbon fiber plastered all over my car, whether its real or fake. I think it's stupid when entire body panels are made of cf, regardless of if it's real. If you're driving the car on the street then it isn't a race car, and doesn't need to be ultra lightweight. And if you just want your car to shed a couple lbs, then paint the cf in the color of the car, instead of just leaving it bare. The very nature of the thing makes it somewhat rice, even though in some instances...such as the one this thread is based on, it does look pretty nice. Too much of anything is a bad thing, I say use it sparingly as an accent....you don't need an entire car made of cf, or the dash completely covered in it, or the seats in some fake ___ carbon fiber upholstery, that's my opinion.

.... has it been that long since you've gotten a kiss that yur imagining that some sort of object actually wants to kiss you???

well, that is your opinion...

on the flip side, that looks hot. Now how about you answer the question about ground clearance of the front bumper. Is it similar to the stock bumper w/GFX?

And YES, a CF front end is VERY expensive. I have plans later on down the road (much, much later) to get that done. Makes the car much lighter and more manuverable. Good job, my boy.

Here's my front bumper clearance:

I have 17" rims w/the same size tires as stock, Kevin has 18" wheels with some really thin low profile tires, so if anything we are prob. about the same height.

This is not a race car, nobody ever said its a race car, Kevin is all about the shows, let me show what I mean:

Do you see all of those throphies and plaques, he got those by customizing his car, not by racing anybody, so far he must be doing something right. BTW he got 2nd best tC at this show(San Diego show):
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/Gil_tc/San%20Diego/SDCarshow056.jpg,
but hey this is his car, you don't "have to like it", anyways keep up the good work Kevin :clap: .

DAYM!! well i kno that its gonna take me a long time to get close to ur standards at HIN lol..

NiclZ who did u go to get ur cf wrapped? cf-type or someone local? i plan on doing the stock bumper with my lip or parts of it like u but i'm not gonna get the m-power kit so don't worry lol.. i really got to meet up with u and check it out.. i got to talk to alfred why he never told me about ur tc.

Holy *#@%&^! YES! I think I need to go change my underware. That has got to be the nicest tCs I have seen. Great job.
