Default fiberglass front bumper

does anyone make one to work with stock fenders/hood
hopefully that looks normal...i think it would be a great idea to get rid of the heavy stock rubbery one and we could get rid of the bumper sag when you take out the supports...

you really think the stock urethane front bumper cover is heavy?

I'd rather have urethane than fiberglass. We get enough rock chips on the urethane bumper as it is. You don't want your entire fiberglass bumper getting cracked from rock chips and impacts, whereas the urethane bumper would bend and scratch but likely not crack on a small impact.

picked up a fiberglass one vs a urithane one...its a noticeable differance...

its more for a racecar thing than a street..yes you would see chips but i dont think much worse then a normal bumper...
