:werd: And as Mike illustrated earlier, CF is too brittle and fragile for street use. Even an errant bump that a normal urethane OEM bumper would bounce back from could cause a CF bumper to crack like a raw egg.
And unless the CF front was painted, JDM front end or no...I still say it's going to look damned strange unpainted- even on a black Integra.

That said, I was not aware that the bodywork
had to be done- or that the car had been in an accident.
