Need your opinion!

So... I was wondering what you guys thought of this bodykit, as I cant seem to find NEW OEM bumpers for sale. The bumpers on my car are thin and brittle due to age (I assume). The brand is extreme dimensions... and the pieces are made of duraflex (a combo of fiberglass, plastic, and flex resins) I dont want the WS6 hood, cuz I dont want people to think that the hood is funtional, and in my opinion it looks kinda silly on a 3rd gen. Any and all opinions or references to new OEM bumpers would be appreciated. Maybe even a carbon fiber oem/trans am hood?

You can get the correct oem front and rear bumper covers from Classic.

Re: Need your opinion!

Don't ruin your car with that ridiculous body kit.

As manta mentioned, Classic Industries sells new bumper covers.

The back bumper and sides look ok but I don't care for the front bumper.
