Pretty cool. If my front end was in need of replacing I would totally consider it.

I think its made of fiberglass so I would think it would hold up . also it might me useful if you could use the bottom holes to make air ducts to the front brakes.

Re: gt concepts nose piece

The picture looks totally photoshopped. Aside from that, I do think it looks alright - Certainly better than the other offerings...

Upon further investigation, everything they offer looks photoshopped - They claim to offer these packages, but offer no pictures of the actual product, just how it "looks" on the clearly photoshopped car.

They sell the same body kits everyone else does.

Re: gt concepts nose piece

I've seen that one at Andy's auto sport. Best and only one that looks good. Considered it myself to give my car something unique. Cant convince myself its better than stock. My only complaint is I don't think the bottom lip is big enough to match the rest of the car. But I could be wrong since it's photoshopped

Re: gt concepts nose piece

Looks ok, but would like to see some real pix. I agree the lip need to be bigger.

Re: gt concepts nose piece

The real issue I have with that nose is that with it installed you obviously couldn't use the factory front ground effect. Since that's the case - it might be a problem with a gap from the front bottom of the fenders... of course a photoshop wouldn't show that would it?
