it will be cut out for the turbo and intercooler, not solid like that one, but that bumper probably will only be used at track events, so the car will only run long enough to go down the track and back to the pits

I wish I had the time and workspace to make carbon parts again. That would be a nice bumper setup to make out of carbon or fiberglass and be able to make spares really fast. Shape-wise, it's such a simple part so it would be easy to do, especially with DZUS clips or quarter-turn fasteners to attach to the car.
