Hi Mike, That carbon fiber is cool stuff; I've seen Ron Wester (of Gullwing magazine and screamin' yellow DeLorean fame) do some nice things with carbon fiber. But I would be concerned about the loss of fascia functionality. The stock urethane fascias can take a good hit without showing any sign of damage (fortunately, I *don't* know from experience)... The stock fascias can be kept nice. Add some aluminum bars to the underside to permanently fix the eyebrows, and a good paint job will last for years and years if well kept. A little painting and heating can fix old ones right up. Just ask Josh and Ken! Sometimes it's just easier to do things the hard way. -But if you make any progress, I'd love to see how it turns out. I'm just not sure it would be practical for a frequently driven car. Jake Kamphoefner Racking up miles on 1063 ronin5030 <yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I a carbon fiber facia. About half of all the front fascias I have seen are either chipped, peeling, in need of paint or else they are warped from heat and have those distinctive "eyebrows" above the headlights.
