I have a FMIC (Spearco) in w/ my BoMEx... whats your question?

RotaryX, that is my car (silver TII) back on the first page with the BoMex front facia only...

FTP lenses are to 80's. I don't like them at all. They look great in the stock bumper forsure though... If your going alter FTP lenses, fab some GTC lights in there instead.... very do-able

it looks better in black because you can't see that the front end doesnt even come close to flush mounting with the fender. Plus when you paint this kit it will turn a different shade of red that the metal fenders. Best to stay black with this kit.

I think the Bomex kit looks nice (especially with the FTPs photoshopped in there), but I hate the fact that you have to shave the side moldings to make it look right. I had a Bomex front end, but I sold it before I even installed it. The quality seemed ok, but the fiberglass was pretty damn thin...

I've never cared for the erebuni/nopi stuff. The sideskirts are about the only thing worth having.

Personally the bomex kit is one of my favorites. I do think that it looks a whole lot better with the FTP lenses and I would definately do that if I got a bomex kit.

68sniper, I think that your car will look pretty good. As far as the wing I do have to agree it might be a little big but it looks like it will fit with the rest of the kit. I also dont really like the bumper, it looks a little 240sx ish with the whole pignose kind of look thing going. But hey if you like it thats all that matters. You should post pics when it is finished so we can all see how it turned out

I think the BoMex give the FC almost an MR2 look (91-95) model. I don't know, I like it without the FTP lenses....

That photo shop picture isn't a clear photo.. Look at my silver car back a few pages... BoMex did cheese out on not making the trim flow from the ffront fender in the the facia.... Its a cheap, thin bumper......what do ya want?

You mean that picture from the Minneapolis Autovations show last year?

Because that's where the pic you posted of your car was taken, or didn't you know that?

The only reason I didn't print more photos of the front of "your" car is because the real car owner is in all of them.

For some reason you're passing Brad's car off as your own, your pic is even titled "bradstiiwow"
