Big Dent in rear bumper, any carbon fiber rear ends?
 
I have a big dent in my rear bumper, and as it would cost a considerably amount of money to have the dent removed and bumper repainted, I am considering going the carbon fiber route for the rear bumper, especially since my car is graphite, and would look pretty natural even unpainted.

Any decent rear bumper assemblies out there made of CF yet?

Good luck with carbon fiber bumper because once it get's hit they are no fun to repair. Stick with fiberglass or OEM plastic. At least with epox, bondo, and fiberglass you can repair those pieces easily.

how about the duraflex has fiberglass bumpers for sale

Well, I am actually looking at CF, mostly because with having to paint either plastic or fiberglass to match the car, CF will likely be cheaper, though I am certainly open to other options. Still looking for a good bumper replacement.

Thanks for the tips so far.
