Actually you'd probably want to reduce weight in the front since the majority of the car's weight is already up front.

As for an entire bumper...I don't know why you'd want that. One rock that might chip your paint normally would not be pretty on the resin coat of CF. Not to mention the cost of a piece like that. If you're looking to reduce weight in the front of your car just put a normal bumper on and move your battery to the trunk.

thats no true. you can get rid of the lip if you have it, relocate your battery to the trunk or get a light one, get rid of things like your AC and windowasher fluid etc.

That would be my advise. I'd say to keep the washer fluid, but not fill it to the full line if anything. That stuff comes in handy sometimes. Honestly, if you want to lighten the car, CF parts are not a cost effective way to do so. Removing unecessary crap is. What lengths you want to go to are purely up to you, but there's a lot of heavy material and unecessary parts in the car, regardless of whether they're in front of the front axel or behind the rear axel.

.....And of course it wouldn't be wise (from a quasi-liability point of view) for the management here at EvoM to tell you to go out and remove your bumper beams.

I agree with pgmike, there IS no cf bumper, no such thing for the us lancer, well not just yet, i believe the only exterior cf part u can get is hood, trunk, and that lip, that was just wrap, not actually the real thing!!! but u can always buy a bunch of cf wrap, and wrap a bodykit in it, lol I have seen that before, thats hott, but it was on a eclipse!!! lol
