Fiberglass Bumpers-no moulding strips

is anyone interested in fibreglass reproductions of the std bumpers????
smooth skinned with the side moulding strip continuation removed
Alexis from FIBREMAZ is considering producing a mould
we just need 5-6 ppl keen
cost would be approx $250ish(AU) per bar plus shipping i guess for US
if anyone has removed the black moulding strips from the side and hated the fact the bumper has a continuation moulded into the skin of the bumper itself, that looks **** even when painted over ,then this is the answer!!!!!!!!!!

ya know how ya door looks with the black moulding strips on
and you know how ya door looks with no black moulding strips...
after u pull em off...???
well imagine ya bumpers if u were able to pull off the mouldings?????
they will be exactly the same as std, just smooth, no **** moulding.....
like if u got a belt sander and ground/sand em off flat......
but ya cant grind them off because doing so would cut bumper in half horizontally....

It's hard to imagine it because we've never seen them like that. I think it would be something nice to produce but I can't afford to shell out $500 for a set of bumper covers for a car that I don't even drive at the moment

I think hades or ray green or somebody tried doing this once. he used mesh or chicken wire or something to hold the shape and the fiberglassed it. I don't remember how it ended though. I'll search.

Yeah but that's a Mariah front end. Although I agree it does look good. I'd still like to at least see a prototype
