Default Carbon Fiber Front Bumper

i came across a picture of an IS with a carbon fiber front bumper. there was also a rear bumper made with no reflectors

i can't remember where i saw this, and ive searched too long and can't seem to find it.

That looks dumb as hell. Now if the whole car were carbo fibre that would be a different story.

yea all he needs is fenders and doors and roof. you can see he already has hood, front facia, and sides, but one can assume he likes CF and aslready has rear Seibon trunk and probably the rear facia.

I really like that hood though. THat car has either too much or too little CF.

Looks like a carbon fiber version of the Element 114 bumper. Any confirmation?

It is certainly exclusive, although a bit too much CF for my tastes.
