Molding bumper to fenders?
Molding bumper to fenders?
Don't know if this is possible since they are two different materials. But if anybody has pics i'd like to see. Anybody mold the front and rear bumpers to the panels so there is no gap?

my friend did it to his 89z as a show car but after a few years and some driving it started to crack

If you don't mind fiberglass, I think I saw it from summit, and if I remeber correctly.
They had the front fenders and bumper as one fiberglass piece. Along with that, I think it was $1200 dollars too.

Ok I figured it would crack just a thought. I'm in the market for some fenders though so maybe i'll see if I can find some quality fiberglass one. I seen one guy had some nice fiberglass ones with vents kind of like the 4th gen t/a ones. See if I can find those around.

I would only use fiberglass fenders for racing purposes only, not as a daily on my car. Also you may have to do some modding to get them to fit right, as for metal ones, they usually bolt rite on.

Re: Molding bumper to fenders?
i did mine to my daily driver a good year ago and it hasn't cracked yet and shows no signs either. just gotta know how to lay fiberglass between the metal and urethane then smooth out with filler.
