hi all,

 

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a company to buy a fiber glass or plastic front bumper from? one with the factory mounting points. I bought a second hand fiberglass one but it does not fit that well and it has no mounting points.

 

 

this is the one Im looking at currently but it is a $550 with out postage.

You could try Carmate.

The carmate 1 is pretty average, I found the jet speed one better but neither have any factory mounting points, you can make them up from some aluminium pretty easy though, if you want fg I'd go jet speed over carmate, I have both and the jet speed one is way better molded and is thicker and has more around the edges to strengthen it up, the carmate one has stress cracks all over just from being attached to the car and vibration and the like

True, I bought my front bumper from Carmate (didn't know jetspeed made evo 3 bumpers) and its got hairline cracks in quite a few places. But I guess you get what you pay for.
