Grand National convert

[gthmcty1]

What is needed to convert the bumpers to the GN bumpers, I have seen a few bumpers from companies like Danko Reproductions that offer the fiberglass bumpers. If I were to purchase those and the fillers would I have the look for the front and rear bumper conversion?
I notice on the GN that it looks like a one piece bumper almost as if it is molded?

Regals and Grand Nationals use the same bumpers.
The only difference being that the GN bumpers are not chromed, they are painted black.

Blake thanks for the response, why does the GN bumpers look as though they are molded together where the fillers meet the bumper on the sides and the tops, or is that just an illusion?

That is a fiberglass bumper (notice the lack of the rub strip).
It's just the angle of the photo that makes it look flush.

think that was a turbo T not GN 86-87gn come with fiberglass bumpers with no bumper strip the metal bumpers on most 84/85gn are modified holes are welded up strip removed and blasted/roughened painted black this is what everybody has that I know but I could be wrong just IFO

You are 100% wrong 86-87 gn did not come with fiberglass bumper how ever some models did come with alluminum reinforced bumpers. Ask me how i know look at my signature.

Well if you switch to the fiberglass bumpers, you can mold the fillers to the bumpers :idea:
