They look really smart :thumbsup: I wonder if they will flex a little if they had a small bump like the original bumers do :?:

Fibreglass can be slightly flexible, but I would expect it to crack if you knocked it into another car even at very low speed, that said it would be much easier to repair and paint than the original bumpers, and how often do you nudge things with the bumper.

IMHO they have a much sharper looking finish and proably won't warp like the originals, I like the idea.
