Thanks for the replies. Sounds like good old steel is a no-brainer for fit and durability, though lots of votes for CF and it wouldn't hurt to lose some weight. No one said FG, so thats out! One thing is decided, the rear bumper parts (plural) will definitely be steel when I get this project going. Anyone know if there are early bumper corners that mate up to SC flares? Drives me nuts to see molded bumperettes in body color on a backdate.
I think I've looked at just about everyone that sells these parts, but I'll gladly receive recommendations for suppliers. Please: only parts you have direct experience with. Thanks!
