Carbon fiber front bumper durable?

I have an opportunity to buy the C-West front bumper made out of carbon fiber for a great price. But I'm wondering is it as durable and flexible as the polyeurthane bumpers? Or does the carbon fiber crack easily?

it wont crack easily like fg but its not flexible. And repairing it will be harder than repairing fg.

Its almost the same thing as fiberglass unless its real dry carbon bumper which I highly doubt. If you want something that will flex....go the Cwest FPU.

?? It is exactly like fiberglass actually, and very prone to cracking if you hit something
