I saw some fiberglass bumper pad replacements a while ago.
I need front and rear. Anyone know who makes, or sells them? Thanks |

Yes, the rubber ones suffer from the elements over many years, and the fiberglass ones would hold up better against sun and water damage. However, the rubber ones hold up very nicely to bumps and taps from other cars or solid objects. Unless you have the bumperettes, the rubber tops are the first things to make contact, and the fiberglass will crack/split/shatter very easily compared to the rubber. Just pointing out that it is a tradeoff between the two. |
