New adore/grinder nose at CR
 
Any opinions on the new adore / grinder nose by autokonexion over at CR.net? It's an NC styled nose to fit NA's. I'm not into cosmetics too much but it looks to have potential for real aero improvement. The lower section doesn't set back as far as the stock nose does. It's also much wider, coming straight down from the waist line instead of tapering in. This covers a bunch more of the front tire.

$225 if bought before Christmas plus $75-80 shipping. Done in fiberglass.

What do people think? Functional? Look good? Fugly? Stupid idea?

Looks pretty cool, could def. be functional. Id worry about the fitment though.

I'd be ordering one if I still had an NA.

Glass = cracking but....

Glass= repairable (with enough talent/patience)

I like it except that its fiberglass. Good luck with it lasting more than a few months unless you barely drive the car

I like it aside form the stupid holes along the bottom. Are you actually planning on getting one?

Ugly, but looks to be functional. I like.

I like it a lot, but having a GB payment deadline of Christmas is really retarded. If they would push it back to 10 Jan or something, I'd have one.

Too much mouth area.

Same. I'd shatter mine within the first week of driving

My bumper is fiberglass and it's survived one season just fine.

That bumper is gay and what are you supposed to do with the lower vents?
