Default Carbon Fiber Bumper

Hows it going guys, I was wondering if anyone makes a Carbon Fiber front bumper for our cars. I saw a lot of carbon fiber front lips. Someone hit my are and jetted from the parking lot and I need a new bumper. Would rather just mount a front bumper, dont want to have to paint it.

What does search mean? I've never heard of that. Did I break it?

I gotta say that's pretty ballsy to have your front bumper entirely CF.

Ehh its just like FRP or Fiberglass, chances are if you hit something its going to crack. Although FRP does have some give to it.

Carbon Creations makes a couple. I was looking into them a long while back, but I've only heard bad things about Carbon Creations stuff having horrible fitment.
