Default Within 1 week, wrecked it...

My new (used) '01 S2000 had a run in with a mailbox after a deer jump out in front of me in a curve.

The front nose is the only place that was damaged. My S2000 had the factory chin spoiler that was totally wasted. So now I need a front clip. (the polyurathane bumper thingy with the H logo.

Who sells decent aftermaket replacement bumpers? (I figure since this has forced me to replace it, I might as well maybe get a better one)

Are these any good? Here

Oh, also the only other thing was damaged was the inner fender well lining was torn out. (the black thing that keeps water out of the engine compartment)

If I knew how to post pictures here I would post some.

One week, eh? Wow! It took me a whole six months to wreck my '01. But I did a much better job of it than what you did. Yep! I snapped the rear axle. Bent the frame in two places. And bent the left rear wheel hub to the point where its tire sat nearly perfectly horizontal to the ground below.
DAMN that uncle Jack and that cousin Dan. I say DAMN them!

There are LOTS of aftermarket bumper choices out there.

You might want to spend some time going through the Gallery Forum to see what is available.

I know the build quality must vary quite a bit among manufacturers, are there any "big" ones out there that you can recommend?

Also can you paint carbon fibre? Who makes good carbon fibre ones?

The only one that I know of that makes a CF front bumper is ASM, and it is $$$ and it's a widebody.

You can paint CF. I have a CF Hood and it's painted.

I like the INGS+1 front bumper (it's the one I have) I also like the Top Secret Front bumper. The Amuse R1 is NICE (also kinda $$$.) GP Sports, Garage Defend, Feel's, etc. I don't personally like the Mugen front end, but Mugen is a big name in aftermarket Hondas. Also kinda pricey IMHO.

Here is a link to a LOT of tuners with pictures of their body kits;

For OEM parts I would contact Hardtopguy.com I would also look at Magestic Honda or I would go through the For Sale forum to find some quality used parts for sale.

Thanks!

Also, is there one out there that is designed for racing,

i.e. one that provides more downforce than just simply better looks.
