I'd like some feedback on who (IYO) makes the best fiberglass bumpers. I'm backdating a 75 and I'm concerned about quality of the fiberglass, how the corners are fitted to the fenders and the type of mounting brackets, ease in installation etc.
Thanks |

Just don't bump into anything ! You will not be happy ! It's not as if the metal bumpers are robust - my front bumper is dented from PO's minor parking lot bump - I've pounded most of it out but it really needs professional work and re-chroming which is far more expensive than fiberglass. Also, like Woody I have a silver car and feel between the paint, fuchs, window trim, and bumpers there are too many shades of silver, plus coupled with the above mentioned bumper damage, I've considered fiberglass. I like the clean, more contemporary look of Woody's bumpers. Thanks buddy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I would like to see a fiberglass bumper for the '75/'76 that wraps the ends a little more. That would save having to remove the rubber bumper clips , the hole filling, and repainting. Mine is a 75. I just trimmed off all the excess metal. Wasn't really that big of a deal. I didn't have the dog bones and just used washers to space out the bumper from the body. Looking Good Woodrow!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) But why did you knock that cone down? Its a pointer cone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
