    Well I am gonna order a fiberglass bumper from

    http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/maverick.html

    My bumper was bent around the corner, so it was mega close to the drivers fender. Just didnt feel like messing with trying to straiten it out. Let's hope this works out. Anyone else have glass bumpers?

    Thanks for the links. I did a search for fiberglass bumper before I posted, but I missed those two threads. I also didnt like what I saw on here when I did a search for up22.com. Anyone have a place I can order a front fiberglass bumper with some confidence? I hate to have to mess with straitening the side of my bumper, but it might be for the better.

    It's easy to pull the bumper, when it's bolted to the car, or take it to a bumper shop, and ask them just to pull it out.

    Be careful with showcars.......I've seen on other boards the fit and finish. Not to say there isn't any working a fiberglass piece per say, just that these looked horrible. Also the guy said he waited forever for his part cause they really dont have much of a stock. They pretty much make em as they come in.

    I think I can forgo the fg bumper. I wedged the bumper in a tree fork and was able to straiten it out. Now the side gaps are about even.

    Thanks for all the info.
