Which Bumper Fillers do you all recommend?

[Missouri T]

Hey folks,

I'm going to replace my front AND rear bumper fillers.
ABS plastic scares me......are they any good?

Fiberglass is VERY tempting.
GBodyParts.com has some nice-looking ones.

I'm open to other suggestions....Ebay sellers? Other?

I'm not a tightwad but I can't justify paying for mega-$$$ ones, either.

Thanks for any and all input.

Fillers

I bought the Fiberglass fillers from Danko reproductions. They sell them on ebay or you can buy them direct.. When you order them be sure you get a set from the Jacksonville FL molds. Those produce a much better quality smother fiberglass casting. There is a big difference... Hope this helps.

My opinion is stay stock...but what do I know. :biggrin:

The goal is to *replace them. I'm sure not over and over again.

I went with Stock fronts and fiberglass rears.I've had fiberglass rears for about 10 years now and they still look new. It took a little work to make them fit. The holes had to be elnarged on one and I needed a little plastic pin to push them together at the center but they look stock.

I had a set on my '87 that were original and out of all four of them, only one had a hairline crack after 18 years. Now granted, It was garage kept. My other TR, also an '87, has the fiberglass one installed. Look good but I will need to adjust the bumpers so they don't rub. I didn't install them, the car came that way, so I do not know what all is involved. Price would dictate which ones I would buy.

Fiber glass all the way around get them right on install and they will last and last and last.
2 sets of oem fronts and the fiber rear stil going strong. Instead of buying m 3 rd set of oem fronts I just put on fiber fronts and are on all 4 corners.

That's what i went with. A bit more expensive, but certainly worth it when all is said and done. They look terrific.
