Seems to me that a CF front - particularly fenders - would be subject to fatigue cracks at the mounting points, and wouldn't fare very well in the event of even a minor fender bender, never mind a big crash.

Overall, I can understand something like a CF hood, on account of the weight savings, but to run a naked CF front end on any car is going to [visually] break up the form of the car enough to just look odd....in a bad way IMO.

These CF bumpers and fenders can't be cheap, I'd bet. I'd personally save my money and put it towards powertrain upgrades.
