camhabib actually on audi's the bumper and the bumper cover are two seperate parts so it wont affect the collision rating of the car. Also a black pearl(or any pearl paint) will cost more then ferrarri (or any standard gloss paint) to match, unless your paying the extra to get it directly from ferrari. Also i am not a mechanic, but my dads a mechanic, my best friends a mechanic, i have learned from them, i can do just about anything laborwise myself, but I cant match a pearl paint.

what he was trying to say is a cf woulda be hella expensive, not to mention heavier. you'd have to get a custom mold from someone like Fiber Images. if your serious about spending the money, contact Mike Hood, he works with CF people a lot, he even has custom CF doors, trunk, hood, and i think is doing the fenders sometime in the future. if i were you i would just get a urethane bumper and call it a day.

OK so i will take that as a no, no one makes a standard CF front bumper. You guys are not factoring in paint+labor though. A full cf bumper unpainted and me doing a DIY 10 minute install would not be more expensive then a PU bumper +paint. A Reiger bumper is 666 bucks +150 shipping, unpainted. Called 4 shops and all the quotes were 250-400 bucks to mix and paint it. So close to or over a grand.

A full CF Front bumper does not cost any more then a fiberglass one. in this case its actually 36 bucks cheaper. No paint required. Just having trouble finding one for the B5.
