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.

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 butt carbon fiber upholstery, that's my opinion.
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):
,
but hey this is his car, you don't "have to like it", anyways keep up the good work Kevin .
