I frigging rearended a lady last week

Good thing is carbon fiber is in my future. This is what I'm thinking.

But I need a c/f bumper. ( not many options )

Suggestions welcome. Thanks

I have heard poor quality issues with Seibon carbon products but maybe it will be fine

Too much. Get the fenders, stock hood with cf inserts, stock bumper with CF splitter and the cf crash bar piece. OR CF hood and splitter only. CF the entire front will not look good IMO.

mm...yeah true, but if you're at that point, the only way to make it look good is go all the way. VIS has carbon front and rear bumpers (although i wouldn't trust VIS at all), and seibon has the doors/fenders/skirts/spoiler, ams has the roof. so all that's left are a pillar and quarter panels.

hit or miss a lot of times. my cw hood was all right, the aero style side skirts were acceptable, the new v-style skirts they sell now fit like ***. not even remotely close.

Keep us informed on what you do. I'm trying to decide whether to go CF Hood, or stock hood with CF Inserts.

Feel like this thread could help. I agree with the general consensus, the entire front end being CF is wayyyyy too much

I would just fix the hood unless its really bad. Fixed mine for free then repainted my car, since evo paint is crap.
