Need rear bumper ideas
I need some ideas of what to do with my rear bumper. I really don't want those rubber bumperettes ever again - they look so generic.
Could I fiberglass the rear to look completely smooth?
Should I get an 82-84 style bumper?
Should I get the 91-92 style Formula bumper?
Should I make some flush mounted bumperettes for the rear?
Any ideas?

The 82-84 bumpers may look better, but I don't reccomend using them. Why? Because they are made of thinner urethane than 85+ which causes them to warp, sag and get wavy. Aftermarket replacement 82-84 bumpers may not have this problem, but my stock ones sure do.
