Fiber Glass vs Carbon Fiber
I'm interested in purchasing the kenstyle rear bumper with the greddy front. Yeah i know, real creative. Anyways, i found a couple places that sell somewhat the same kit for about 900 total, both rear and front, but it's made out of fiberglass. Also, at the same palce, they are selling the same front bumper for about 700 except it's CF. Should i really pay 700 for the front bumper? Thanks.

i would not get a front bumper in cf. doesnt look good imo. but i would get the kenstyle rear in half glass half carbon fiber...

++1 CF would kinda look tacky man... stick to fiberglass! Unless you G is a straight show car or not driven much
get the carbon fiber then paint it to match it will be lighter and stronger than the fiberglass also probally better guality mold do to twil patterns of the carbon fiber
it wont be light or stronger if its only an overlay with resin in the middle, which is referred to as WET carbon, the most of the industry uses this technique, depends on where they are from, it could be most resin and one layer of CF. My guess is that unless it cost around 1500 for that front bumper, it is not dry carbon.
