what happened to the one piece bumper 's?

Fillers, bumper and air dams- all 1 piece. Been talked about for years though. Looked as though this time they'd be accomplished but again petered out.
Like this one. Here is the pic.

Autocraft made some one piece bumper / fillers back in the early '90's. They looked a lot like the Cutlass'. They were regular smooth bumpers, no bumperettes or rubber strips and could mount any type of air dam to the bottom. I knew a guy that had them on an '81 or '82 455 Stage1 powered regal.
It would be nice if we could get a hold of those molds. It seems like they sold for $400-450 an end back in the day.
It looks like I should have bought a couple hundred sets. Lol
I will have to see if I still have the literature and post some pics.[/QUOT

Did a quick Google and found a thread from 2009 on here ironically
Here's the link http://www.turbobuick.com/threads/autocraft-front-bumper.299185/

A couple of pics and good info
 
It seems they have been making them for a while now, but mostly specialising on gbody malibus. They seem popular on yellowbullet and they have all positive results (malibu owners) Just wished someone from this board would have actually l come threw and done them for us. Would much rather keep my money with in this forum that go somewhere else (n)

Couldn't someone start with a KB bumper/air dam one piece and ass in the bumper fillers?
I picked one up recently, never painted never installed.
 
I'm working on making one for my own car and it's a lot more than just glassing in the fillers to the bumper, to begin with I wanted the bumpers flush to the filler which required narrowing the ends of the bumpers.
