Best Fiberglas Bumper Source for '73 RS
I am going to remove the front & rear '73 IROC bumpers from my 73 Coupe to convert it to a Carrera RS clone. Who makes the best fiberglas parts currently?
My fiberglas IROC bumpers are originally from gt-racing and they have held up well.....are the two sources still gt-racing and m a shaw? I'm interested in them fitting great right out-of-the-box without a lot of sanding/working and then long term durability. Thanks! |

I've had good luck with Getty Design fiberglass - which I believe is the same stuff that MASHAW carries.

I will X3 the above statements... I have all M.A. Shaw carbon fiber piecies on my car...and WOW..incredible quality.. I believe Getty Design is the same company..or a relative of M.A. Shaw...
I would not go with anyone else... I bought a front bumper cap from BB, and had about 80 or so hours into finishing it before it even came close to looking the the piecies from M.A. Shaw did out of the box....

I got my front Getty and it fit right out of the box. For the rear bumper and ducktail I used GT Racing, they also fit very nice right out of the box.
