I've watched a few of their YouTube videos, they seem legit.

and this front bumper maybe?

or do you think m3 rep would be better for the bumper?

It's made out of Fiberglass, avoid products made out of fiberglass that are meant for exterior mounting. Not worth the hassle and I've heard only terrible stories about said products.

Ahh gotcha. Do you think andys would be good for that hood?

I used to work for Andy's. They're a drop ship company, so if you are researching quality, you should look into the actual manufacturer of the item. Carbon Creation is Duraflex's carbon fiber division. I'm not sure how the the quality of CC is, but I know Duraflex is hit or miss. Of all the brands Andy's carries, I would only buy Seibon for anything carbon fiber.

That hood looks so rice.

Fantastic looking hood! Everything I've heard suggests they're a reputable vendor.

you'll end up on that rice thread with either selection.

I can't speak for them over the past couple years, but I know they had a bad reputation in the Acura community around '04-'06. Before I knew their rep, I ordered a Wings West rear lip for my 2nd Gen TL from them and it took 2 months to get it, and when I got it, it was folded in half. I ended up buying an OEM one by the time I got it and sold the WW one.

thanks guys! i really do like that hood. But, I would rather go with Seibon so I will probably go with the m3 cf hood i suppose. The bumper i was very very indifferent about, and just went with what I have, the m3 rep. Mine is damaged soooo and my hood has been damaged for awhile so i figured why not do it now that I can...

We offer Extreme Dimensions products. You are correct Duraflex are a hassle to install. ED explicitly says that when ordering Duraflex , user should expect to " prepare " the product before installation. That being said Carbon Creations products fit a lot better than Duraflex.
