I have the front and rear. I bought them because I was afraid they would go away prior to me being ready to buy. I am no where close to putting them on the car (car still on rotisserie), but this past weekend, I temporarily mounted them onto my bumpers and took some photos.
I will say that so far I am impressed. My only other FG product I have is the Getty GT rockers and the fit and finish of the bumper pads are much better than the Getty product IMHO. The look to be well built and fit pretty well. They were also well packed. Are they 100% perfect? I would say no. But I would also say that so far I would not hesitate to buy them again and I think they probably will end up looking better than the factory rubber pad once painted. I will try to post photos when I get home tonight. |

Richard, Thanks for posting your opinion regarding the quality of the FG bumper pads. That eases my concern a bit about the $360 purchase. Do you intend to paint them black or body color when you finally mount them? |
