Cale you should get a one piece rubber front end .. This way you will just bounce off what you hit!! :P

hehe a rubber front end would work for sure..but hey..i only hit a curb once :) never hit anything else..well not yet anyhow

the carbon fiber parts you can get from CSP and aircooled.net.
i picked up the carbon wing from aircooled.net..
i was looking to go with a carbon 1 peice front end and a pair of carbon fiber rear fenders..

i dont know much about how 2 make carbon fiber parts..but all the new cars have many carbon parts on the market..including front ends..i figure if you can make one out of fiber glass why not carbon fiber?

and it looks way better when its not painted.

does anyone know of any shops around that make things out of carbon fiber? like big things..fenders and such..i think i could find a mould for a 1 peice front end..or make one..i guess that would be the first step in getting a carbon clip made would it not?

There was a guy named Carbon Joe on the STF that was making all kinds of stuff - give him a try

There is a local guy who builds all kinds of stuff for import cars, he also races at Mission in a white supra. I'm sure i can find a # for him.
