ahh youd be suprised on the stregth of the CF cc bumper, ive hit cones on the freeway @ over 80 and no damage, hit several little things with it without any damage, it does flex prety well! (for CF) its a pretty high quailty piece in my book ultimately a lifted jeep ended my C.C CF front bumper for its short lived life!

Even though I'm sure you didn't have a FRP bumper to compare it to of the same type, I'm sure the weight is very negligible (if there is even a difference at all). If there was, I'm POSITIVE they would be advertising the weight savings, yet...they don't.

there was quite a bit of weight savings, from my FRP bumper, (jp type N) to my CF bumper although minimal any weight helps. maybe 1-2lbs. and i believe FRP is just as brittle.

If it was feasible I would rather have an aluminum front bumper in the same designs and deal with the 5-10lb penalty for durability but that isn't an option.

The most expensive piece in constructing a carbon fiber component is the UV protection used. You'd be amazed at the cost of a high quality UV protector. The cost to make a QUALITY carbon fiber parts is NOT cheap. If your worried about fading or yellowing, just get a Mastergrade part. They guarantee their parts for the life of the vehicle from fading or yellowing. They can do this because they use the highest possible UV protection available.
