Hi Mark,
Pardon my ignorance. I am not familiar with fiberglass and the molding process. How will these bumper tops be made? Will they have a solid core? Or will they be something like motorcycle side cover? I'm worried if I get a set and someone accidentally steps on my bumper and cracks it.
Thanks, Dave

I think the real answer here is dont let anyone stand on your bumpers! 8 year old kid fuch'ing around in my garage jumped off one of mine and destroyed a stock bumper top. He was not even 50 lbs. If anything I would think you might be safer with fiberglass as its easier to repair and cheaper to replace.

You hit the nail on the head. It is fiberglass. Don't expect that it will support any real weight. It is cosmetic, but with that being said, we are reinforcing the part so it will not have the sag that the other previously available ones had.

These are made in 3 part molds and blended. To look like and OEM.
The difference is the black gel coat will make them look like the have just been hit with armor all.

If you want durable. The solid rubber bumper tops are the best. But at 2x + the cost.

Fiberglass is repairable.

These are not solid but will apear to be once installed.

Do they not look original in the black gel coat? If not, are they close? I was kinda looking for plug and play, not something I had to paint.

can the fiberglass be made to look original, or just painted to match the car?

If someone local gets a set of these I would be willing to do a how to thread, to make them look as close as possible to original (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)



My response was to a question about making them look as authentic as possible

Original tops were not slick as the gel coat will be. They had a light texture and were more of a semi black then the glossier black that the gel coat will be

I would guess that if your not interested in going through painting them, then you probably aren't too concerned about perfecting the original look, so you could bolt them right on as is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

It's not big deal to shoot them with a satin bumper paint. Just takes time and money. We can lay the gel into the mold. It's a great finish, and less work. I can shoot these at $10 a bumper if you want. Or if you wan to save some cash -

It's a satin paint that will look more like the rubber bumper.

Yes they can. I need your postal code to get the shipping quoted. PM me.

I'm supposed to have some pics on these in the next few days, so I'll get them up as soon as I have them.
