Looking for a CF bumper cover

Does anyone make a carbon fiber bumper cover? I now have a huge crack in my cover from a winter storm that hit here in KY. I thought about just sealing the crack and covering the bumper with fake carbon fiber vinyl, but it was hard enough just covering my dash pieces. I would like to buy a CF bumber either fake or real it doesn't matter. Anyone have any suggestions? Eventually i want to have the trunk, hood, and rear cover CF.

No one that I know of makes a CF bumper cover and IMO if you going CF its best to go real or to not go at all. Fake is just way to ricey for my taste. If someone did make a cover it would be very expensive

it would be so expensive it just plain wouldn't be worth it . as of now for the cf lip that we are getting ready to prototype build ive gotten quotes in the 10,000 grand range just for a mold to be made up to do the pressing in
