Default Carbon fiber front bumper?

Do they even make them? I would love to have a full carbon fiber front end.

I'm not flamin' but ... why?

Wouldn't it be super expensive, and crack easily if you were to bump it?

I've seen a lot of cf hoods that crack when a rock hits them. I guess if the cf bumper were on a car you didn't drive it wouldn't matter though. Is this for a daily driver??

Also, how much weight would you be saving, I didn't think bumpers were that heavy?

I don't know what kind of cf you've seen but I had a Fiber Images CF and someone backed into me and the CF just bent it didn't break at all. The only thing that cracked was the frame underneathe the hood.

Rock chips from highway cruising and everyday street driving will own a cf bumper.

Seems like such a waste of money. It's not like the stock bumper weighs much.

i like those bumpers in CF. this one guy has one the color of his car with the bottom not painted like its a lip it looks really nice. and it looks racing to me if you do the fenders and hood! just expand your thinking and stop thinking JDM and maybe it will look good! dare to be different!

yeah i agree. It would be kool to paint it and leave someparts out that would be carbon like CF flames but i think straight CF would look kinda stupid unless on a black car like the one above.
