Difference between the two C-West bumpers
Alright, I am looking to chage my body kit and I was looking at the C-West front bumper on bulletproof. There are two choices for this style; the PFRP or the more expensive Gymkhana Special. What's the difference between the two?

While on the C-West topic, how's the fitment and quality of the bumper? Would it vary depending on which one I got? I guess just specify which one you have if you have any comments. Thanks!

one is fiberglass and the other (pfrp) is composite material i forget the acronym.
Fiberglass is cheaper and unfortuantely more brittle and easier to damage
the composite is much better to work with and is much more forgiving and more expensive

mkell- C-West is def the way to go!
When are you going to make it to some of our meets? I'd love to check out your clutch before I buy one. I just bought a Comptech S/C with some goodies and I'm affraid the stock just won't be around long.

Hopefully soon! How do you like the Comptech so far? Pick any fights yet? 
Right now, I am looking at the C-West or one of the ASM front bumpers (check out my other post a few threads up for pics) and then probably the ASM aero rear bumper. For side skirts I might keep it simple with comptechs or maybe the Feels. I dunno yet though.

I really like the look of the CWest front bumper but the ASM rear is by far my favorite of all the rear bumpers. Parting together a body kit is risky because sometimes the coolest looking individual pieces create the worst looking complete package.
I don't even have the Comptech yet. Hopefully it will be here early this week. I got the S/C, Aftercooler, Front Mount, and the Godzilla BOV so it should take a little time to install.
