  • aftermarket bumpers

    I've been looking for a fiberglass front bumper fora while now. I finally found one and i'm considering buying it. I'm way low on money right now so its not the best timing. i do fiber glass work, so cracks and modifying it to make it fit and look nice doesn't bother me. i just want to see what you guys would think. i can buy both for under $100. i like the front, not to sure about the rear. these are off a cavalier. i think i would but them on my wifes car, not the Cubstiva.

    front




    back

      Save your money until you can find an FMS front bumper or something similar. That rear bumper will look stupid without side skirts.

        I'm not to sure i want an FMS bumper, its been done. I like the look,its great, but other people have it. I tend to be a little more "outside the box".

        as for the rear, I'm not sure if i would use it. maybe the front would look odd with out the rear, idk. I'd really like to have a front fiberglass bumper.

            If the price is right and you like the look of the bumpers and your willing to modify them to fit, then why not go for it!!

            Personally i'd need to see that style bumper installed before i'd know how it would look

            If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

              I like the looks of the front piece, esp. the lower lip. That big opening would look cool "screened in" with a mondo-sized intercooler behind it!!

                      yeah i was kinda unsure. i thin it could look cool, if done right. it is a bit out there.

                      i've always like this look

                        i like the stock front bumper with a small lip or the FMS/121 (?) ones. other than that not a big fan of modifying the festys looks too much. however, do whatever makes YOU happy. =) and sounds like you could talk him down on the price. and if youre going to be modifying it to work on the festy you could also look at MANY different styles. theres a lot out there. good luck.
