Well, i'm pretty sure it's a one off custom job. You actually my be able to contact racing beat about it since they had a one-peice front end on that bonneville flats FC. They'll tell ya if it's custom or not.
I, on the other hand, have never seen one for sale or even heard of one for sale. What I do know is that Carbon Creations may have a CF front clip available for the FC soon, but that's beside the point...

I found a complete fiberglass body for the FC on ebay a while back for 3500, it looked just like a stock body. I remember him saying that the whole front section weighed about 43lbs. You could do that yourself cause it does look clean, but I don't know why. Everybody that I have ever seen with a molded front has regret doing it because of the cracks from hitting curbs, maybe they didn't do it right?
But getting your front bumper off has to be a challenge along with removing your fenders cause I assume you have to do it all at the same time.

ok the email i got back from speed machine performance.... they make lots of stuff for our cars in CF and FG already.
here is the email... looks good. everyone post here if your serious about one.. we could actually get this going. btw i plan to try to run one on my street car ill figure out something about lights... but i like the idea of saving all the weight and being able to pull the whole front off when i want to work on my car.
"I am waiting to see from my maker, but he thinks we are looking at approx
$500-$600 for fg, and I have no quote on cf yet.
Regards,
Dave Gibson

Why would you want to run one on a street car? So that when you hit a curb while parking and the fiberglass shatters you can replace the whole thing for $600+, instead of just buying the body part you need for $200? And the stock bumper is urethane, so it wouldn't even shatter if you hit a curb.
