Input Needed: Amuse carbon fiber front bumper splitter sections

Dom the Bomb · 07-14-2010, 12:16 AM

How would i go about making this part right here carbon fiber but look good at the same time?? i was thinking of wraping it but not sure if i should do it after or before painting. if i do it before it look cleaner but if i dont like it im screwed. if i do it after i have the choice of leaving it off or on.

Wrapping it with cf fabric? That isn't a good idea. You wouldnt be able to clearcoat it like traditional cf parts. I would just paint it gunmetal or something.

The whole bumper was carbon and then painted but they left those parts still carbon.

It's a stretch but you could have a custom splitter type of CF cover made for those portions. Someone that does custom fiberglass work would probably take it on for a fair price (custom audio shop etc). They should be able to blend the edges for you during painting. Just my .02
