Hey guys I have found this bumper painted and ready for my car gonna do a trade my OEM+Cash to the K2 I was wondering I have heard bad things about fiberglass bumpers is it really bad? Just general info please I searched couldn't find much on it.

Thank you

 

Depends on your roads and ride height. I personally wouldn't run a FG front because I know I'd break it with how low I am and a lot of the dips coming out of parking lots.

 

Depends on how low you are, how low you are planning to go, and how the road surfaces are around where you drive. I'm not dropped too low, but I still scrape on certain inclines w/ my K2.

It's kind of a sticky...


And another one with some decent info...

Urethane has give and flex to it. you might scrape paint off the bottom edge if you drag but thats about it.... Fiberglass... you drag it you can BANK of the fact that it is going to be cracked... You will almost always have a cracked bumper or you will alway be getting it fixed and painted again.....


Unless you live where there are NO inclines into parking lots or driveways. and no speed bumps, and no curb stops... you know... in the perfect world for lowered cars.

 

My car isnt lowered right now I was thinking of doing the Tanabe DF210 Which is a bit of a drop in the front specially 1.7 inches so I don't know if I should or not? ^^Kuneff just scared the crap out of me

 

just wait till that lil chunk of tire left over from a blow out is laying on the highway as your approaching... There are cars in front of you and behind you... your in the fast lane rolling 75... there are 3 cars in the lane to your right that you are passing... There is a graven berm and cable guard rail to your left....

You have a Fiberglass front bumper... you will never even be able to find all the pieces to put it back together.... not to mention all the other broken, damaged pieces..

I did this with an OEM bumper and buffed the scuffs out... I did it with a Urethane Nismo bumper... keeping in mind to use the Nismo you lose all your foam bumper inner supports.... Well, the scuffed tire marks buffed right off. now the fact there was no inner bumper supports allowed the bumper to push back and the tire got ahold of the inner fender ($45) and i lost the corner light (free from another member here)

Fiberglass..... you would be shopping for another front bumper....

 

LOL thanks bro I think Im going to decline that deal now I rather wait for a poly one to come around thanks for the heads up tho

 

If I had it to do over again.... I would had went with the 06+ Sport front bumper and kept all the inner foam support.... would had kept the bumper strong enough to last.

Glad I could help.

 

go with fb if u dont mind fixing it and repainting it over and over again lol.
