Front bumper ready for replacement
Any ideas on where to purchase a nice bumper? I am thinking of a Techart style. I am looking for similar material as the original bumper, and a good fit.

Heya John... the problem with the replicas and fiber glass stuff is that it doesn't really look/fit properly. Plus it's prone to cracks etc....

I have reservations about the fiberglass as a bumper material. Anyone make a techart like bumper in a more flexible material?

I think it is made of Polyurethane. Anyone heard of NR Automobile in Sherman Oaks, CA? They seem to have GT2 and Techart bumper replicas in Poly.....

I spoke with NR about their TA bumper. You can get it with carbon fiber renforcement. Not sure how much that helps.
