Just got my fiberglass bumper fillers in the mail today

I posted about 5 pics up in my gallery under the Project GNX Clone album. The quality is very nice on these pieces and the mounting hole locations are already dimpled and just need to be drilled. Will get them installed shortly and will have installation pics.

The million dollar question is: What are your plans for the bumpers?

Bumper fillers

They werent as expensve as you would think. They ran me about 270 shipped and as for my front bumper plans, Im going to have the chrome stripped and have the bumperettes powder coated black and the paint the bumpers to match the body of the car which will be anthracite metallic pearl. Havent decided whether to shave the plastic bumper guards off yet or not, theyre in great condition and there is no need to touch them. As far as pictures, check out my gallery on this forum or check out the CPR Motorsports myspace page. Search for cprmotorsports08.

I'm guessing that you would have a body shop strip the chrome for you.?.
I'm wondering how much that would cost? Also, why not just go to the fiberglass bumbers? I'm guessing that the fiberglass bumbers would cost the same as stripping the chrome ones. Also the fiberglass bumbers with aluminum struts would be much lighter. I'm not sure if the fiberglass bumpers are leagl though...

Bumper fillers

my friend's father in law owns a media blast/ stripping company and is going to do the stripping for me. My car came from the factory with aluminum bumper struts as per the RPO codes on the trunk lid. I assume that my car was a canadian model as they all iirc had the aluminum struts. I dont like the idea of fiberglass bumpers as the littlest bump could damage them. And if I were to get hit, the steel ones offer a little more insurance. Fiberglass bumpers are around 300 to 400 a set. That money is going to be spent on suspension components.
