From what I have heard that setup was all custom, the hood, fenders, front bumper, everything. But that just goes to show you that it is possible. Looks pretty good if ya ask me.

probably because the guy spent dozens of hours into making

the mold because alot of people said they would buy

one, then never did.



People talk alot, but when it comes time to pony up the dollars

they seem not to have any money anymore.



Factor in a couple of ******** who throw out comments like

"wow thats alot of money for a bumper" and you get the idea

why no one bothers with custom ****.

i think chuck was pretty upset when people was saying it looked like crap. So he destroyed the mold.



There is no money to be made in 2nd gen stuff... Maybe 15 years ago there was, not anymore.



Ask Dave at fc3s.org how many people bought carbon fibre hoods. Everyone left and right were saying, i want one. He he made it happen and next thing you know he sells less then 1/2 a dozen with thousands invested.

That's so true though. It's a shame the FC market is dominated by lowballers.



I know alot of other people who fall under the same scenario.



And I don't think that FD front end on the FC flows with the look of the car at all really. Yeah it looks good, but doesn't go with the back half of it..

I have seen pics of an FC with an FD front end. I think it looks awesome cuz whoever did it did it right and made the body flow. Unless the altered the stock body lines past the fenders.....

The nicest (and closest) thing I have seen that matches body lines very well is that bumper for the FC that uses the newer FD turn signal / DR lights.. I don't know the name of it though.. I can't remember..
The bumper is made by Knight Sports.
