i have heard rumors, that a couple people i know confermed. C-west does produce urethane bumpers for some of their applications. they are really expensive, hard to find, and definetly not sold in america.

i havnt heard much about polyfiber, but we have received 3 VIS fiberglass bumpers in the last couple months, and they are ******* clean. and really strong. ive also heard from a couple of my distributors that the VIS C-west replica stuff fits better than real c-west. and ****, its half the cost. fiberglass is fiberglass. you hit something, its done for. id personally rather buy two bumpers instead of one. that way you always have an extra lying around.

That's just dead money that could be utilized in much more productive ways. The opportunity costs of having two bumpers painted and one sitting dormant is endless.

buying two bumpers sounds like a good idea, but its not all that practical. in order to get the bumpers to have a pefect fit, u need to take a little or ad a little to the bumper and sometimes the fenders. see mine...



if you had two bumpers you would have to have this done twice, which sucks when u have it fitted, then have the car repainted. i had this bumper on my car for 6 months and its already broken. if there is any way to buy urethane, do it. i am going to find a urethane replacement.
