fiberglass front and rear bumpers

does anyone know of a company that makes fiberglass front and rear bumpers for the 3rd gen camaros (iroc style). I have a catalog from a company called East Coast Customs, Inc. from 1989 that made them, but can't find them anymore?

I bought a set of ground effects from East Coast Customs a long long time ago when I made my old SC look like a Z28. I believe they are now out of business, or at least not making the Camaro parts anymore. I remember someone else asking this a while back.

Are you looking for weight reduction? I just wondered because the stock flexible parts are way better as far as durability. If you scrape your front spoiler it will give. With fiberglass, the spoiler just breaks off.

VFN is good. I got my hood from them a few years ago... they make fiberglass parts for just about the entire body. I think they have Lexan windows too. I can't say VFN is the best because the guy who painted my hood said he had to spend a lot of time on prep work -- the surface wasn't as smooth and straight as it could have been.

yeah since the front is plastic and doesnt weigh much anyways i really dont see the point in going fiberglass in the front unless youve got money to burn
