Fiberglass Bumper Covers Fitment

Has anyone pulled the trigger on installing a fiberglass front bumper or rear bumper??


I'm restoring my 87 IROC, the covers are warped and I figured these would tighten up the lines.. Just wondering how well these fit? Are they worth the price?

Re: Fiberglass Bumper Covers Fitment

Without any pics, its hard to know exactly what kind of sag is occurring.
Both original bumper covers fit over honeycomb support frames.
Is it possible that there is damage to these, that's allowing sag?
I may be off base here, but I haven't seen any fiberglass stock
replacement units. But having put several replacement/aftermarket
parts into my project, I'd bet several good dinners, that you will spend
as much effort making replacement parts fit properly, as you will
fixing the current sag.

Good luck, & keep us posted.
