Cusco Front strut brace + wide arch kit group buy on FTOOC

Thought this might interest some of you. Take a look at the bumper in the post for the wide arch kit. Bit weird with no indicators.

Here's the pictures of the wide arch kit. They are looking for numbers if they get 5 buyers they will make it:

Here is the bumper they made(not part of the wide arch kit):

Seen d_dan has his name down. They have 4 already so it might go ahead. There is talk of making the bumper pictured above with holes to fit the facelift lights and they can make it with the prefacelift pods also.

Is that the exhaust exiting through the arch just in front of the right rear wheel on the Taeivon car? does the rear bumper on this kit still allow for a conventional rear exit exhaust?

As its a copy of the Taeivon kit I imagine they'll allow for a rear exhaust - theres probably a big mother of a diffuser under the rear of the orig Taeivon bumper. TBH I can't see how they're going to replicate that rear arch without some serious expense (or expense on moulding the add on bits). Really not sure how copy of a Taeivon kit is going to look on a road car.

I am liking that hybrid DC bumper though on that Steel silver FTO though I wonder what will happen come NCT time when you've no front indicators or parking lights?

DC bumper would look great with a set of pre-facelift indcator pods moulded in with lightly smoked lenses. :)

Without an intercooler behind that massive front bumper opening it seems way ott and a bit pointless, looks too much like a design for scooping up road kill. If you wanted the (current range) peugeot look you'd be better off to just buy a peugeot.

Bit harsh mustang, though I was thinkin along similar lines myself. DC bumper would be better suited to a turbo conversion like d_dan with a nice big alloy front mount intercooler, Ralliart logo would look well stenciled on the grille.
