Whats up guys...i'm just wondering what companies out there make a carbon fiber front bumper for an EG hatch.

I'm guaging interest in doing a whole cf front end and would like to see how much a bumper would run me.

Any pics or info would be greatly appreciated


thanks, John

 

anyone?

 

try importfan.com

 

thats about the only place i know of. They rape you on shipping too. they qouted me $170 to ship a hood.

 

damit, their cf bumper looks so ricey with that silver mesh

but i guess you can't really put the regular plastic on?

 

not that hard to removed side grills and put in foglights. and remove the center grill for a nice FMIC or to show off that Full Size Fluidyne or Koyo Radiator

 

Would've definitely looked better if you can put the regular plastic grill on there

you make a VERY good point sir

hehehehe, damit...got me thinking now

 

worst comes to worst paint the grill black if you have to

 

and 3M that thing like a ************, for real.
X-eric-X

 

you can also try seibon or carbon creations. they both have alot of CF stuff.

 

the only thing i'm worried about is if someone even slowly backs up in to me, it'll shatter, or would i be okay?

 

it won't shatter

 

I kinda like it

 

also, all the rocks and pebbles from the road will kill the bumper

but i guess 3M would be the answer for that.... :: sigh ::

No worse than what they do to your paint. With cf, it's not as visible. I've had a cf lip forever, and you can hardly tell it has so many freeway miles on it.

 

just a question, why do you want it? for looks right?

yes for looks, on the color of my car i think a complete cf front end would look PIMP

 

I would be hesitant to buy a carbon fiber front bumper just because there isnt much you can do if you get a scratch.

 

If yer not gonna drive much I say go for it. If it's gonna get hit hard with rocks a lot, I wouldn't waste the money. If you do though, go for the carbon stripe, front to back, bumper, hood, (i dunno how you would do top ), trunk, and rear bumper.

 

my buddie has a front/rear and side skirts in carbon fiber, they look kinda nice, but its kinda over kill with the hood and 2 rear spoilers he has on his EK hatch...but i guess to each his own right?....not to mention they are expensive...

 

vis racing sells cf front bumpers as well.

 

Importfan one looks nice. Very OEM style. Just cut out the wire mesh with a cutoff tool and Dremel the rest down to the surface.

 

yeah, i'm still debating cause i'd need both fenders, the bumper, and a lip...that ='s DOUGH

 

looks nasty to me, its almost as bad as running an unpainted body kit. But thats just my opinion. And i also would like to thank all of those guys out there for running unpainted body kits because without them our cars wouldnt look so groovy
