I think the best thing to do is make the bumper/spoiler out of fiberglass and then splice in the 6-7" in the middle then pant it. Doing out of carbon, would be allot of work and wouldn't look to good. If you want fit and function then fiberglass spliced and painted is the way to go.

Why not use a front bumper on the rear? It may not be enough for total coverage with fenders that are three inches wider but it may be enough extra in length to work effectively anyway. (Someone will have to measure for specifics.)

CCC 1.1/4" wider rear fenders with stock front bumper
Most people have no idea they are wider than stock but they can't figure out how you got 7" deep dish rims on it
