guido got tha new bumper! look DEEDUB

well I finally got around to putting the Racing Beat kit as well as a bumper and Varis canards and lip that I bought from DeeDub.

here ya go











I like it... was a bit skeptical when getting it put on but in the end I was quite satisfied. I just wanted to do something different than what most people do.

positve and negative feedback welcome.

thanks for looking.

If those front "flaps" were painted blak or red instead of maroon I think I would like them a lot more, I kinda like it, definitely different, but black or red would be much better to me.

not digging the canards at all and the color of the front splitter is something i just can't get past since the sides are red. i'm not sure about the lines that the splitter hits either but that could grow on me. E for effort though.

The bottom "lip" is a little big, and the canards would look better, in my opinion, black.

thanks for the replies guys. yeah I haven't seen the Racing Beat kit so I thought what the heck. haha

its that maroon color because its carbon/kevlar...not too many here in the states. :-)

as far as wheels go. looking at axis or 5zigen.....just not sure, I go back and forth too much.

drop coming as well. almost enough dough for the ksports.
