CIC is happy to announce that we’ve finished our fiberglass versions of the chrome front bumpers! They turned out phenomenal and are a great fit! For the guy who wants a really tight fit, these are perfect. You can trim and shorten them until your heart is content. If you happen to make a mistake, well, they are made of fiberglass, so it’s an easy fix!
These are a great option for the guys that are doing our front chrome bumper conversion. At only $450, this will save you roughly 50% of the cost of the reinforcing steel and chrome bumpers, making the conversion much more cost efficient. Another savings is on weight. Just the bumpers alone will save you 12.8 lbs!!!
Now, on to the finishes. We are experimenting with a few options right now. We saw a ton of vinyl wraps when we were at SEMA and they have come a very long way over the years, especially chrome and metal finishes such as aluminum and brushed stainless. There is also a liquid chrome that can be applied and it’s every bit as good looking as actual chrome. Another option is Hydro-dipping, there is almost an infinite selection of finishes to choose from…..yes, we will also be making some out of carbon fiber!! Stay tuned for those!!
FIBERGLASS VERSION OF ORIGINAL 1968-1973 REAR BUMPERS
LOWER FRONT SPOILER FOR THE 1968-1972 CORVETTE SUPER SPOILER STYLE
Hello CIC,
My Son and i are building our Father/Son 1973 roadster.
We would like to get rid of the front bumper and replace it with your glass version designed for the 68 to 72.
Have you ever had such a request?
We believe with some cutting and re glassing with epoxy, we could modify this to fit our 73….
your thoughts??
Kind Regards,
Tom and Christopher
