    I talked with VFN today and they said it would take 5 weeks for bumpers. I need them before that. I talked to glasstek and they said a week. My question is I know VFN has good quality how is the quality of glasstek. Anyone here using there bumpers?

    Thanks
    Matt

    Will this be a "drag race" only car?

    I think fiberglass bumpers are stupid unless it's strictly a race car.

    The car will see the track a few times a year. I wanted fiberglass because I want the bumpers to be the body color. The weight savings is great too.

    Glasstek has pretty high quality pieces. You should be fine with them.
