yeah, looks great! Could you possibly get a shot from the side profile showing how far down it hangs from the chassis bottom? Just wondering how much ground clearance you lose with this.
I just kind of wish they offered a different bumper that fit the lines of the SC10 a bit better, but that's just me being picky, haha!
It's too bad these seem to be fairly hard to find in black still, and I'm not going with the blue, even though they are readily available...

i got this, and a full set of arms for my sc10 before i even drove it.
the bumper is nice. it doesn't have the braces, but its super rigid, and does a great job. i pinged a light pole at about half throttle, and it just bounced off.
the arms are quite a bit beefier then the stocks, and are typical rpm quality. i didnt buy new pins, i just cut down the ones i had for the outside. worked like a charm!
i like the new bulkhead as well!

I don't think carbon fiber is the way to go since carbon fiber is much stiffer then stock plastics. I think carbon fiber has much less give and will break easier on a strong impact.
Beside what I like the most about the rpm bumper is the extra protection on the sc10 weakest point.

Didn't like the RPM bumper.
I really like the stock sc bumper and brace to the shock tower.
So i modified the RPM stuff and used there hardware and came up with this.
