914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Fiberglas repo bumpers?

Posted by: Wanna9146 Jul 4 2008, 07:57 PM

I'm seeking stock-looking/fitting fiberglas bumpers for my '71 (with foglight cut-outs). Is there such an animal?

That would be nice to have that set, but, in the "stock" form like the original post asked not the GT style

Do those need flares to fit?

our fiberglass front are completely stock looking and from our own mold so a great fit.

Yeah... but for $550 a set i think i could find some VERY nice chrome to install. Maybe even with replacements.

Where to find? The last (new) set I saw was on E-Bay for $700/ea ($1400 for front/rear). They were factory NOS.

Does anyone make replacements in metal?

I just used that as what I normally see ppl here selling their bumpers for. Seems common to see chrome bumpers in pretty good condition going for 150-200 range each here. That comes to 400 a set and 150 left for a decent replacement (if you dont pay attention driving-get an extra front, if your brakes work really good- get an extra rear).

Only problem I have is that I just cant find cheap straight painted bumpers for sale and fiberglass seemed like an option, but, for the price i would be better off priming and painting up a chrome set. I think fiberglass would put our teeners in a modified class for autocross anyways. Not like we aren't at a disadvantage to start with
