cf front end

Sorry but it doesnt exist.
 
However if you are willing to spend big cash www.gtfabrications.com will make you one custom

first sorry for posting on that old topic..i was reading along and didnt even look at the dates..now for this..what doesnt exist cause ive seen it all for sale on ebay..of course its pricey and i better not rub my bumper annywhere but ive seen all for sale just wanted too see what it might look like before hand

Hey no worries
 
I have seen a carbon fibre front bumper before, however it was not a stock replica. I believe also it had carbon quarters on it.

Maybe you are thinking of a specific picture that i have also seen. If so, that was a one off by GT-Fabrications

im not sure..i just searched ebay but its not giving me much of anything..i looked on gt and they had dorrs and the hatch and hoods..im sure they do custom work tohugh too..idk thanks for what youve given

Sure. For a fact they are the ones that did that one carbon front end... and it says on their website they do one off stuff.

Ewww IMO.
The guy that swapped my car has fabbed his own entire front end.  So now he's got CF fenders, hood, fascia, trunk lid, side mouldings, sideview mirrors, I think the lower rear fascia, and I think that's it...regardless, it's overdone with the CF, just the front end is overdone IMO.

Here's the first AWD turbo Avenger and the first entire front end Avenger to be CF'd.  Hell, 3/4 of the car is in CF and it has a gutted interior and being rebuilt with a 4g64/4g63 combo to be bored out to 2.5L.



This was the car before the entire front end being CF'd.

Silver, Do I love or hate those tires? Ive never seen those before.

thanks silver..i do like just the frontend but the sideskirts and hatch and all is too much..maybe ill go for the first eclipse with cf front end

I freakin dig the tires

Thats what Im thinking too... Ive never seen em with the colored lettering like that... I mean, whites one thing.. But they got red in there too.. thats kinda hot.

I'm still on the fence with the colored lettering on those tires.  Maybe it's the car color, dunno.
I think a CF front end would look good if it had less of a....umm...pop out at you, feel.  If the car were black perhaps.  I don't know.  I'm not a big CF fan at the moment.  Besides, I would rather do fiberglass since it can be worked on at the house if it ever got ripped, torn, cracked, or whatever and I wouldn't have to buy a piece just to replace it.
We all know how folks can hate on others.  I get folks who park next to me in a lot full of empty spots all the time!  I know you guys get that too.  I can only imagine how PISSSSSED I would be to find a crack or crease in a CF part.

^^^^^^Agreed. Im not a fan of the carbon fiber look. Theyre good ideas, to save weight, but I would have painted em.

IMO CF is way too gay...thats just me

its looks like the same front bumper... are you sure he didn't just get it vinyl wrapped in "carbon fiber"?? cause that would be OOBER gay!

Yeah, it's a one off of that Avenger front fascia's original design.  The model used had a larger front opening than the original to accommodate a large fmic.  That's really all, lol.

ok so i do agree with much said especially since you cant replace cf the same way you can anything else..and it would be on a black car but i think ill just stick to an all black vehicle..thanks anyways

cf ACCENTS!!! = good   but it's easy to get carried away....

CF sucks IMO ron...but everone is diffent RICES

you can't think that cf completely sucks, can you??  i mean granted, this car is way overdone with it, but cf if done tastefully can be a valid mod to a car to shave off quite a bit of weight.  (this is directed towards hoods and hatchs and what not... if you're really crazy then doors as well)

doors look terrible on a car IMO... if you are going to do CF on a car it needs to be done symetrically...     also if you start just splotching it all over, it won't look good.      here's my perfect CF accented car.      STOCK 2gb.  cf hood, hatch, front lip, and either a cf muffler cap (part that is cut out of the bumper for the muffler to come out) or something along the lines of the JDM rear bumper for the EVO's.     that is a SIQ looking ride.

ok, lets think about this for a minute... whats the WHOOOOOOLE point of carbon fiber? to save weight, right? if you start addin stuff here and there just to "accent" the other carbon on the car, then isnt that just defeating the purpose by adding unnecessary parts? that wasnt completely directed towards you ron, but you're muffler cap just made me think of that.  Haha there was a guy that brought his prelude into our body shop to get a kit molded on and what not, he had "carbon fiber" eyelids on his headlights, one of the most POINTLESS mods to a car... this is how the convo went:
 
Me and a couple of other guys: "So what are these carbon fiber pieces on your headlights for?"
Him: "Well, those are (trying to sound all cool and not gay at the same time) to be aesthetically pleasing..."
Me: (Turn my head) and *cough*ricer*cough*
Him: (Got fairly upset, pointed to me and said) "Watch it, bud)
 
Hahaha, i thought it was hilarious

the point of carbon fiber is not only for weight savings... it's for aestetics!!!   if it was just for weight savings i.e. more speed/power than why the hell would so many people put them on n/a eclipses????? no point.         eyelids are meant to make the front of the car more agressive, and they work as long as you do them right.    my friend w/ his Mazda6 did it and they looked awesome but i think the best example would be on a n SRT-4, their S Style eyelids look wickid!

Real CF is for performance, even N/A Eclipses.  The accents do nothing but add that ounce of weight and eyesore IMO.
Think of Honduh and how a car as light as those need less HP to get it to move.  Why does a 2G Eclipse need 140chp to move it, where a Civic only needs 10chp, lol.  I kid about that number obviously, but you get the drift.
Also, CF didn't become aesthetic until the ricers started putting them on for looks.  Come on, would you leave raw fiberglass on your car or even clear coated FG?  Ok, so maybe some do, but seriously.  CF is now bling.  It states, look at the money I wasted on my **add part here**.  Yeah, I could have bought FG, but it doesn't have the crosshatch under the clearcoat!  It's teh hawtness!!11
I can't help but laugh at cars with excessive CF, especially the accents.  It looks as good as tweed in the interior.  It also reminds me of the "wood grain" days   Even Chevettes had that.
It's a trend, hopefully it will go away soon so that CF can be used for it's real purpose...weight reduction with a bit more tensile strength than FG.

Not disagreeing with you Ron as that's your opinion on CF.  This one is just mine

YOU ARE WRONG OLD MAN!!! WRONG I TELL YOU lol j/k.    to each their own.
