trinitom Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 there is any aftermarket front bumper made from standard plastic, or are they all fiberglass? i would like an after market bumper, but i don't like the idea of FG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 stillen are the only company that do them in plastic iirc. I think MVP do a plastic greddy style front lip. but its about 3 x the cost of a fibreglass one. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Stillen ones are urethane I believe. And recommended by a few on here for their fitment and strength. Not personally had any experience with any aftermarket bumpers, I'm having a Ridox copy fitted to mine at the moment which is FG, with a rubber coating. I'll let you know in 6 months how it's holding up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, if you're worried about protecting the front stick with stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
