That's my understanding anyway, if I got that completely wrong feel free to hit me over the head with it.

I have been thinking about doing some fiberglass projects myself and have been searching for an "impact friendly" material that is not Urethane. I havent found it exactly, but i did come across some flex resins http://www.reichhold.com/composites/...logy.cfm?ID=35. I think if that was combined with some regular rigid resin, and had two layers of carbonfiber(you could use regular glass) with a lyer of kevlar smushed inbetween; you would have a pretty damn strong bumper that would be lighter than urethane.

I now have an authentic bumper made of Pliable Fibre Reinforced Plastic (PFRP). The fitment on my new bumper is awesome. It's extremely light (Approx. 18 lbs.) and flexible. Also, the gap was even and a lot less pronounced I suggest researching this type of material as I believe it matches your criteria. |

Has anymore work been done on this? I'm getting ready to pull my fenders in school in a couple of weeks but I also want to do something with my bumpers.

Its been slow going at the moment. I have made a small amount of progress, but nothing to write home about. My goal is to have something mocked up by the 4th of july.

Do you plan on making the bumber come out wider or will it match up with the stock fender?
