I have a Series 4 front bumper right now but in my head I want something different. I really do not want anything to deal with S5 stuff, not that I don't like S5. I just want to know what other people's opinions on the FC2000 front bumper before I jump the gun. Its been going in and out of my head about this visual appeal. Let me know what you think.

Here's a picture of the front end. I apologize if these are anyone's vehicles, they are perfect examples.

I hate the bottom part of the bumper. It's too flat for me. I LOVE THE HEADLIGHTS though.

I like the fact that its not very common compared to every other bodykit on the market for the FC that is overplayed. I bet the big opening with proper ducting would benefit a VMIC well...i dunno

well, I'd like to completely disagree.

At one point GP sports was the most common kit available. When the GP kit was HOT was when the FC2K was rare and a big deal.

You'll find that more and more people have the FC2K kit these days. Now if you're in an area where FCs aren't seen often then you may be right about it being uncommon.

In the end you should get whatever kit you like and work with that to separate yourself from the pack.

LOL.. and I COMPLETELY am the oposite.. I love the front smooth clean look but HATE the headlights..

POP UPS FTW!!!

anything else IMO takes away from the old 80's sports car look

My least favorite bumper cover.

But to each his own.

You made a good point there. There isn't too many RX-7 around this part of Florida. Here you either run into really nice ones or complete rust buckets.

Pimp your shit out man. Make it so it's perfect for you and personalize it so it's different.

Yeah for real so far my 7 is pretty pimp...well to my standards so far. Its pretty cool to get a lot of attention around here for something out of the ordinary, but I don't want too much to a point of saying hello to Mr. Officer every time I want to drive my 7.

Why am I ALWAYS agreeing with Phoenix lol

remember there will always be people who don't like what u like, you have to build the car the way YOU want it.

There will always be haters... and thats fine Haters need a job too so let them hate.. they r just jealous cause their car dont look as good hahaha

Good luck with whatever u choose to do and PLEASE post pictures.. we are all interested wether we like it or not I like to think the majority of this forum is all about the cars, and friendships.. so we will deff stand behind whatever choice u do (as long as it is for a good cause lol)

Well I think I'm gonna go ahead and pursue the kit. Before I do I'm gonna have to save up and start with the cheaper items like the rear and side skirts. So I'm gonna try to sell off the original ground effects that came on the car when I bought it. Here's a link for your curiousity http://rotarycarclub.com/showthread.php?t=4700
