Group Buy - Pole2Flag Dry Carbon Front Bumper

As promised, we are making a batch of prepreg front bumper that can accommodate the oem windshield washer bottle, horn, lic. plate, end clips etc. The method of construction is the same as the rear.

This bumper is longer than the rear(3.1lbs) and its 3.35 lbs. w/ all the mounting hardware thus you are losing another 20lbs+ in the far end of the car and the steering will become more sensitive and respond quicker of your input than the oem steel bumper. The effect of lower polar moment inertia(PMI) will be more apparent. at $900 + shipping+ tax, it has great value in addition to losing so much weight. If interested, please make a $120 non-refundable deposit to our website to reserve your spot under the Terms & Condition tab. The part will be shipped ~1-2 weeks.

Note - do not install Tow hook on carbon.

Looks like a great product liftnot! Any chance the first X buyers can get in on similar "intro" pricing as the rear CF bumper beam?

Thanks,

The front bumper is more involved than the rear due to all the attachments but we are willing to offer an early-bird special at:
1-5 = $900(no license mount)
6-10 = $850(no license mount)

The benefits of this part coupled with our rear bumper, you are losing 40+lbs. of weight at the far ends:
1) result in quicker transient response during fast corners/sweepers.
2) Better acceleration, braking going into and coming out of a corner/sweeper/chicane.
3) at low speed/on the street, you can feel the car is quicker in turning.
4) this part is working for you ALL the time.

please specify if you want the front mounts for the license plate, that would be $50 extra.

Will the front CF bumper have any effect on the OEM toe hook?

Good question. the front bumper is shaped like the OEM so it should not interfere with the tow hook. We will double check when we mount the 1st one.
AFAIR, the tow hook is connected to the frame, not the bumper(?). The exploded view in the manual (20-58, 59) of the frt bumper assembly does not even show the tow hook at all.

We do not recommend mounting a tow hook on the CF bumper even though the load is evenly spread out over an area. Knowing how the tow truck driver usually operates in a hurry, the shock load on the dry carbon may have a negative effect. Prepreg is very strong but its not autoclaved where the strength and price is roughly 10x than prepreg.

1st Front Bumper Beam

Here is the 1st Pole2Flag Racing dry carbon front bumper. less than 3.5lbs. its shaped like the oem so all the accessories will bolt on.

it finally arrived at Applied Motorsports, mounting both bumpers begins today.....it weights 3.35lbs. with mounting hard ware. Ridicul-rus :biggrin:

Front bumper is on! Almost done. It looks oem but its not @ 3.35 lbs.
