It would not be worth it for the following reasons:
1) fitment would probably be awful
2) it wouldn't match your car
3) the point of carbon fiber is to save weight versus aluminum body panels/door skins. But the front bumper is just a plastic bumper cover which isn't heavy at all.

The first question that comes to mind is...why?
For looks,save weight,just because I want one?
You are gonna have fitment problems.Most offered say,
"slight modifications may be necessary"etc.This may be OK
with a solid color material.But you can't fill in CF and match
it into the adjoining panels.Also,for the prices I've seen on
"CF" bumpers,they are fiberglass covered with a CF veneer.

I see wat about a body a kit do you guys think it will be worth it? Spending a lot of money then having it painted and to put it on and if it cracks it will just kill me.

It will crack, stress crack, etc. something will happen w it regardless how careful you are w the vehicle. Just have to learn and deal w it when it happens. Or learn how to DIY to save a lot of money. GL
