I need a front only, if available or if someone else needs the rear and we could split a set.

I only need the rear one, but I'm in Kentucky, so not sure how we would handle shipping on that....

Can do it but, but not a GB item. With the GB you would pay almost as much for a set if you want a stand alone.
We have the shipping already set up and the bumper top boxes we use for the rubber bumpers we make are suitable for this. Our Fedex ground rates are good and they are not heavy, just bulky. The weight difference between one and two isin't much, so you will not save much if any on shipping
Can go either way

So we have made these in the past and will be retooling for them. Since we have the hoods going too why not offer these up.
We will be doing sets of the bumper tops that are textured like OEM but made from fiberglass. They can mount out of the box or you can sand and paint for smooth bumper tops.
Pricing will be dependent on how many takers price point less than $300 a set the more takers the lower it goes.
So who's interested?

Mark, I would like a set-please add me to the So Cal list

Ok, we fit the fiberglass hoods and they are about ready for production. The Bumper tops we are scrapping the mold we have as it has a warp to it. We are starting again from scratch, and will be about a week before we can pull some parts, just not worth trying to make something work when we should just make it right to begin with. Would have been better not to buy these molds.
I will not sell something that I'm not happy with the product. Sorry to add a week to this but it will be worth it.

Hi Mark, Just wondering what the status is on the new molds for the Bumper Top GB?
Thanks-Rick

Will be done after the holiday weekend. We are fitting the hoods to the car tomorrow and making changes to the extent necessary to make the hoods as perfect as we can. That and the other daily stuff have got in the way. We have started the process and these will not take long to finish up now.

What is the difference between these and the originals sets I picked oh so long ago?
Sitting on the rack, still in the box, just waiting for the day I decide which bumper I am going to run.

These are a fiberglass shells for lack of a better term.
They bolt on just like factory.

Jul 15 2020, 08:40 AM
Guess I did not make my wording clear.
Orginal rubber = heavy bolts on with 10mm nuts underside, I get them know them well.
Fiberglass sets where produced a while back and you mention you produced a set. I have a set of these original production run units. Lets call these Aphla
this run of Fiberglass lets call Beta
What is the difference between Alpha and Beta sets? Is it worth the upgrade to get to Beta sets if I have a new set of Alpha Still in the box waiting to be put on?
That was the real question I was trying to get answered.
Sorry for the lack of clear communication.
Mikey914
Jul 21 2020, 10:42 PM
To answer your question -
The alpha ones were good, texture not quite correct. The Beta are textured off the bumper tops we make so look more like the original bumpers.
Honestly, if you have a set, the value of "upgrading" to the Beta it negligible for 2 reasons
1- Many folks sand off the texture to paint same as body color, in this case there would be a little less sanding as the Alphas has a more "drywall" type texture with more material.
2-The gel coat finish is a different texture on the betas, but still both are glossy. From more than 20 ft away you may not even see the diference.
Pulling the 1st off the new molds in the morning.
Pics soon

Pulled the set and have these out to show how they compare to my OEM bumpers. We are just making fixtures to mount the tops. Should be able to have all costs figures and open up the GB this next week with production to begin about then also.
Here is the front next to my OEM bumpers
