There is no carbon fiber bumper (as far as I know). But Seibon makes a CF rear diffuser & there are a few CF trunks to choose from too (if damage went up that high).

Sorry to hear about your accident & post pics when you get the chance.

be careful of vis stuff...their quality is even worse than seibon's, and their stuff tend to fade.

I had heard some bad things about Seibon, but recently purchased a rear carbon fiber difuser from them anyway. The piece turned out to be much better than I expected. In fact, of the three companies I ordered from (Do-luck, Rexpeed and Seibon), I had the best fitment with the Seibon piece. Looks great if you are just looking to replace your stock rear diffuser.

Huh, I didn't know Vis made those parts... I don't want them, but good to know.

What kind of car was the kid driving? Hopefully not a truck :/

ok lol nothing wrong with vis parts. i have gotten several peaces from them over the years the only peace i got that required some modding was a trunk other then that the cf weave is perfect and i keep my cars in sunlight often no fading UNLIKE my crappy seibon hood i have on my Z yellowing up. its going to get replaced with a vis hood soon.
