Fillers front and rear which to get?

I got mine from Replica Plastics
The owner told me that they are a fiber glass/plastic resin mix. They are very flexible compared to the fiberglass ones that come from that place in FL called Buick Regal Grand National – T-Type Bumper Filler Sets | Danko Reproductions where most of the vendors get them from.
I actually bought a set of the Danko ones first, but they came with allot of cracks and were very brittle. I found the Dothan place by accident and I only live about 30 minutes away so I went there first hand and bought a complete set.
I took both sets to the people that do my paint and body and they did not like the quality of the Danko product at all. So we went with the Dothan company and they even melded the rear into a one piece for me.
The fourth pic looks funny...but that's a reflection.

I got mine from Gbodyparts.com. My body shop guy said just a scuff sand and primer. They did have to drill the holes to mount them, but the marks were already there and all of the seem lines matched.

Go plastic if plan on crashing the car or buying others later in time, or go Fibroglass an never worry about again, unless your in a crash, but after you can atleast you can repair them
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
HelloBozos: I like that. IMO and I don't know much but why did you think GM made them flexible? I need all of the fillers and I'm thinking of the ones that are flexible and that's not for a while but I'm listening too all comments.
Hey Bozo where you from the Boston area. We use to have a Bozo the clown when I was a kid.

Start at post #23, on above thread, pics included. Waiting to pull the trigger on these when price is set.
I am in the same boat regarding all four fillers.

Here is another option for front fillers-gmpartsdirect still shows one, can't remember which side, for $100 shipped. The other side is discontinued. However, NOS4GN has both sides for around $265 shipped. I bought mine from NOS4GN, packing was great and they ship quick. Probably won't be long before both sides are discontinued. I also bought the Danko's fronts and rear from BWEAVY a couple months ago and they all fit perfect. Bodyshop didn't even complain about their quality or what it took to prep and paint them. They look fine to me but some people are complaining about them. I'm sure Brian's will be better. He includes the piece with the screw holes, it looks like, just like stock.
