Carbon Fiber front fascia?

I agree and disagree. If you had a REAL carbon fiber bumper with several layers of carbon fiber and you hit something at the minimal speed it would take to tear dent or damage a urethane bumper. The carbon fiber one would just get a few scratches. The only up side to urethane is its cheaper by 50% or more, and the braking point when being bent is farther than a carbon fiber one.

That is assuming the carbon fiber is pure carbon fiber (again with many layers) and saturated in the best epoxy resin you can find.

Carbon fiber is also cheaper to fix (not cheaper to replace). Just cheaper to repair since you don’t have to use special adhesive promoters and special types of putty.
