If you decide to go that route, I'd be interested in your glass lenses... Mine are plastic, and I'd be thrilled for the upgrade.

Yes I agree. The extra reinforcement will go a long ways. It has stiffened it up quite a bit. I will finish the body work on it and paint it later this month.kulluminati777 wrote:Wow great update!
Yeah the mazdaspeed front just makes the car look 1000000X better then the original bumper IMO
I know how strong FG can be.. but in the end its still just FG i wasn't talking about a bar but more like aluminum sheeting. Light and thin high guage sheeting. Once spring rolls around im hitting this same project.. along with painting the car over.. (I worked in a body/custom shop) for alittle bit so i was introduced to fiber glass and how strong it actually is.Josh wrote:Thanks; Yeah she is about done actually, well for a while. I have a couple more things to do to her then onto the AWD car, and when that is drivable again I may do something crazy with it that I may or may not be collecting parts for already![]()
Thefez- Running like an aluminum pipe along the inside would be ok, however I think most would be surprised on what some matte FG will do. This is more than twice as strong as it was originally, and I only wanted it on the lower end as that is what usually breaks. I am contemplating adding some undercoat to the back side. At least on the lower section. We will see, I am rather confident in how strong it is now. If you go to thick it can have the opposite effect.
