New product update - BUMPERS Black & Chrome, Fiberglass made, the chrome didn't quite work out. Options

[Mikey914]

Well finally i have the 1st prototype in hand. The 914 rear bumper in fiberglass.
It will come with a black Gelcoat that can bolt right up like the OEM Bumpers.

Please note that these are fiberglass, and will come with the disclamer that they are not intended for on road use and are for show cars only, as they have not been tested for impact and are not DOT approved.

I have been told the fronts are in the works and next week I may have another prototype. We'll see how that timeline works, but it is in the works, and you will want these in sets more than likely.

We are working on the chrome finish for these, I should have some pictures in about a week on this part. I'm working on 2 variations on this part to determine the one that is going to work best.

The real beauty is that the substructure will not rust if ( or more like when ) the surface has a rock chip. May even have an option to have a clear bra installed over the chrome finish. I'm working on trying to get a quantity deal to do these.

These bumpers are going to be set up to accomidate the fiberglass tops that will be available after these are done. These will also be set up to use the rubber bumpertops.

So the pricing is still coming together, but shipping costs and cost for product will be much less than the counterpart in steel.

These will mount just like OEM as we are fabricating hangers that match the OEM counterpart.

I'd be in for a set of front and rear one piece if the price is right ...

What's wrong with the one you have now? Looks great and is functional to your cooling. Will you be able to cool that 3.6 with Std configuration bumper? Thinking out loud. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

We tried the Alascorp product. It's good. But found it requires some prep, we looked at outsourcing it but found the cost at about $175 a bumper, maybe a little more, so by the time we make a $250 part and add $175 + transfer back and forth, $475 with zero potential for profit, and a sharp downside due to damage, and any unforeseen issues, so we pulled the plug. I can sell the fiberglass ones at $275 ($25 profit) for those that want them, but didn't see that panning out.
If I'm wrong let me know.

yeah that's the way,labour cost cramps the margin ipso facto.
