While there are methods of polishing the plastics, I'm looking at doing a 2.0 update on it and would like the added touch of a true CF over the CF patterned plastic.
Also, my front bumper is pretty beat up from previous owners. I think my biggest challenge will be finding the silver ignition paint and a shop that can apply it to OEM spec. But I'm just starting to look.

things made out of 'plastic' is the same as things made by 'honda'. there's a metric crapton of variations within the category. just because one type of plastic gets brittle and breaks in certain conditions does not mean that all plastics will.
i can say for certain that the urethane/poly propalene 'plastic' bumpers and cowling pieces are much more durable than a rigid carbon fiber piece of in those areas. they have much more flexibility as a plastic variant than any carbon fiber process currently available.
carbon fiber parts will retain more rigidity until they come into contact with something. and then they'll splinter like cordwood, or your wallet when you see the replacement costs...
