hi i recently got my car back form the performance shop, and now im looking on improving the front end. im already getting a carbon fiber hood. i need help finding an carbon fiber bumper, and fenders for a 99 honda accord lx coupe. i cant seem to find anything. could i please have some help in this

 

Fenders shouldn't be much of a problem but the bumper cover may be more problematic.

The bumper Cover has been (as far as I can remember) always flexible, to withstand the day to day impacts. Neither a Carbon Fibre or Fiberglass aftermarket bumper cover are flexible. You would be subject to some serious (and agrivating) damage from some truly insignificant hits.

i dont understand why a carbon fiber bumper would be of interest to you. i mean how much lighter could it be than a stock plastic bumper?? i'm sorry if that is a stupid statement by the way.

 

I don't think the bumper cover itself is the heavy part; its more like the bumper support since its metal and heavy.

 

If you just want cosmetic - have your stock one wrapped

 

In that case I'd suggest aluminum, but no one is supplying aftermarket bumper bars in anything other than steel (it's that 5mph bumper thingie that's tripping you up).

Haha, word.

 

well i wanted to try and get the whole front end done in carbon fiber like this

i really like the way this looks. if not than i want to find a cheap aftermarket bumper that is black.

 

With the road conditions in the Northeast, That monstrosity would last about......... that long.

that's DTM if you ask me..stop at CF hood,and you'll be fine

 

I guess it's just me, but I don't think that looks good at all. There's no "flow" of color or style between the carbon fiber parts and the rest of the car. To me, it only looks like a bunch of random parts thrown together. But if that's what you like, go for it. Maybe I'm just too old fashioned.
