fenders will look good on a black car. But say if your car is white, it looks too black, it doesnt flow well i guess. My opinion. As for the front bumber, very impractical. Will get chiped and dinged like no other mother.

I want a carbon fiber toilet.

So if you are ever looking to sell that bumper after you buy it and can't figure out how it goes on hit me up.

i think carbon fiber fenders look back and throw off the flow of the car. stick to hood, trunk and lip at most...unless you paint your cf fenders and/or bumper. but thats just a waste of money

Especially considering that using carbon for the fenders and bumper cover would offer extremely minimal weight savings for the exorbitant amount of money he'd spend. The OE polypropylene bumper cover and metal fenders weigh very little to begin with.

Since the weight reduction is negligible, and since unpainted carbon fiber looks like *** when it is strewn on random body panels, I'd say don't bother considering it any further and find something else to blow your money and time on.

I wouldn't do that carbon fiber stuff. Or if you decide to do it paint it.
