Front is too rice. I don't like the over-aggressive look.

I'd hate to see a 5mph "fender bender" with that front end

That would be my biggest worry. As long as its painted to the rest of the car, itll look fine.

It will only look good with BLACK SUBIE...

well

Looks kinda goofy on a yellow car, I don't really like the wheels, and what's the deal with no side skirts? That would look dumb from the side. Is there any weight savings? if not, what's the point?

Looks like a really crappy Chargespeed knock-off, and I'm not a fan of Chargespeed.

It'll look good if you paint it, but then what was the point? Your new hood is probably heavier than the one that came with it. I'd imagine the same for the fenders.

It would bounce right off whatever it hit. It is CF after all.

not at all. Carbon Fiber is very hard to damage. The bumper is going to be very hard to damage.

if the carbon doesn't break.. whatever is is mounted to WILL. i.e. metal

besides... carbon doesn't break.. it shatters

exactly, just because you can take a rubber mallot to a CF hood, doesnt mean it wont break. A car on car impact with carbon fiber.... will not be pretty.

Watch some Formula 1, youll know what we mean.

this is probably more for show cars anyway, I'm sure it'd look fine with a black subie, any other color would be...well retarded.

like others have said... CF is easy to damage when you get into an accident.. i know this from experience...

1. The design of the front bumper is rice. I wouldnt drive that car if you paid me.
2. Its not going to be any lighter than the factory parts. Maybe 1-3lbs total loss. You could lose 3x that much using a honda civic battery instead of your stocker.($44 at autozone)
3. A mallet would still not do much, because after all, as it is cf, it is hard to damage.

cf just doesnt do it for me one our cars for some reason. Maybe just hood and trunk but I dont like the whole front. I have seen cf doors before too.

Also, if you're going to redo the front bumper, why have an ugly license plate "block" on it?
