I haven't seen it in person, but seen pics of it for a couple of years. I think it's okay looking, good option for front ends when thinking of putting a turbo front end on.

Edit, I have seen it in person. I think it looks better in person.

I don't think you can call it an NA anymore.

I think it looks much better if you make ducting for the radiator, beside the fact that it helps radiator efficiency.

That one that he posted is different than the standard one...looks worse IMO, look at the curve into the wheelwell...too drastic. And that thin integrated front lip looks fragile.

I think that new fiberworks bumper looks like smelly butt. Those curves on the edges in front of the wheels just don't work at all. It's doesn't flow with the lines of the car, in fact IMHO it screams "afterthought".

Yes, Antonio, thats the one we have, except we dont have the splitter on the bottom. I'm really surprised by all the negative replies on this thread. I'm in love with mine, I think it looks perfect, especially with the mesh

The two black cars look good. The red car, however, has an ugmo "flare-out" quality in front of the wheels. See it? That's what everyone is talking about.

If it is the same spoiler/valance, then there are either some quality control issues at that company, or mounting methods changed the look of the finished product.

I spoke to Fiberwerks about 6 months ago, and they were finishing up a new design. I bet Jake's pic with the flare is the new bumper. Pure conjecture and guesswork. Matt, feel free to step in and slap me around for guessing.
