LOL - I was a fan of this bumper when I first saw it, just because it was so rare. If I had a chance, I'd put it on my car (perhaps with a few sections painted).

It would be sick to have the it be painted black/clear along the lines of the bumper...
I wonder if you got in an accident, would the CF just shatter/rip or would it be dented? Is this bumper malleable enough for that?
Would be cool though...I wonder if you got CF hood, trunk, and sides, how much weight is that to be saved? haha

when i got the car it had the sides CF, the bumper was removed though, who knows where it is though, i added a CF trunk though. IMO the trunk makes a difference when it comes to weight, you can actually feel it when you pop the trunk haha
