fibre glass bumpers imo are a no no

i work in a body shop as a painter and they are **** quality at best

the only way to get a nice finish on them is to high build primer them from the start to cover all the bad imperfections,youll need a good few covers on it,and flat it off and paint them

then the fitting of them never look right,and the holes will need a little work to make them fit

ive done quite a few fibre glass bumpers and side skirts and imo you cant beat a genuine bumper

How about removing the rub strips from the front and rear bumpers you have? Fill em and smooth em off, lick of paint and they'll look decent

but alot of filler needed to do that, even with plastic weldin the holes up , itll still look **** lol
