James has been making these for me. There have been some supply issues, but I'm told that I will have more in the next 2 weeks.
They are thicker than the others that were on the market, and had 5 sold mounts on the front as well as the 4 on the rear. |

After searching for a bumper top for the rear I realized I could change out both bumpers to fiberglass for about the same price as 1 bumper top. I haven't done it yet since my 911 decided to start having personal problems, so my focus has been on that, but I'd be down to buy fiberglass bumper tops! I have a front bumper top I'd loan to make the mold.

This company makes fiberglass bumper tops for front and rear. I used their rear bumper top and it looks just fine. Happy Thanksgiving! Vysoc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |

good to hear you guys have sorted this out.
i'll keep my eyes open. $650 per car for rubber is way outside my budget : ( nice product though. jim got this nice stuff today from you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) -- QUOTE(Mikey914 @ Nov 26 2015, 09:36 AM)  James has been making these for me.

May want to checkout the Black Friday sale.
But yes I have back orders that I'll be filling and will have stock shortly. The ones James has made are thick enough they don't flex and are excellent quality, only a little slow to make them. |

i'll hold out for fiberglass, maybe even for next years black Friday sale, as I need 2 sets : ( and they are primarily asthetic for me. fiberglass imperfect seconds would be even better for my needs.
thanks jim |

I know your just looking for the bumper top. But I've got a complete fiberglass bumper, with the top molded in. Would that work for you?

I think I want to keep steel bumpers for the safety value, in case things go awfully wrong. though I drive my car like granny on sunday, generally. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Glad to hear, been waiting a long time for the "supply issue" to be worked out.
