I've been pushing james to make these for some time, as you all know. He's finally hirred some help to get these done.
If I can get 25 sets we can drop that down to $290. So for less than you can buy one bumper top for, you can get a set. They will come in a black gel coat, but can be sanded and painted to the color of your car. So who's interested? |

I might be interested. Now that you have the molds for the bumper top, can you do a whole bumper with the top already molded in?
How much lighter are the FG tops than the rubber? I have some nice rubber tops. Selling those would probably pay for the FG. Stu |

Yes I agree, I will get you some pictures as soon as I have the product. james is supposed to be working throught the weekend on these to get them out faster. He's making improvements to the design as the early ones that another vendor had made didn't have enough support and they had more flex than they should have. These will be a significant leap above what was on the market. I can't wait to post, but now that these have been fast tracked, I thought I should get the GB up to hit the level we need to get the cost down. |

I might be interested. Now that you have the molds for the bumper top, can you do a whole bumper with the top already molded in? How much lighter are the FG tops than the rubber? I have some nice rubber tops. Selling those would probably pay for the FG. Stu We will be selling a version of the front molded to the bumper, as well as both pieces as individuals. The rear is the early style bumper as it is right for the 6, we had not planned to mold them together. We are also working on a "chroming" process for the bumpers, but the bumpers will be available in a black gel coat 1st. More good stuff to come too. |
