[QUOTE="Jr. Corvette, post: 242356, member: 1906"] Hi [USER=7159]@GT74R[/USER]. I used a Trueflex bumper on the front of my car when I painted the front half of my car a few years ago. This year when I decided to paint my car, one of the parts I got was a new fiberglass rear bumper. The Trueflex bumper fit terribly and was a 1/4" short on the passenger side and 1/8" short on the drivers side. It can also easy distort went you bolt it in place so the one benefit of the Trueflex can actually be it's downfall. The fiberglass bumper was a near perfect fit and bolted into place nicely. I also found it to have a much nicer finish and requires less body work to get perfect. If I had to do it again I would stick with fiberglass all round. From my experience Ecklers fiberglass parts are not well made. My side skirts from them were different lengths and poorly made. They also falsely advertised Custom Image Corvette flared quarters on their website and sent me their crappy quarters instead which were again poorly made and a completely different design. Best of luck with whatever you decide. [/QUOTE]
