TRU FLEX BUMPERS
 
HAS ANYONE PUT A TRU FLEX BUMPER ON THE FRONT OF YOUR CAR? HOW DOES EVERYBODY FEEL ABOUT THEM?

I wanna know too, I been lookin' at them in Ecklers. I'm leanin' toward fiberglass. I'm concerned about the tru-flex warping just like my original bumper did.

That is why I went for the fiberglass rear bumper.The original rear just dissinegrated from the weather and the front is warped and cracked.I did not want to chance that happening again so I got fiberglass.When I am ready to do the front I will do the same.It is personal on what you want and if you plan on bumping things and repairs etc.Have a good one .Talk at ya later

My 74 has both front and rear ends replaced with the fiberglass replacements. They look like the original pieces. I'm very happy with them. Good Luck

I considered it for replacing the front on my '73, but when talking with a tech at one of the Corvette parts houses , he informed me that some trimming would need to be done to get it to fit properly. Decided to put a GM original on. Cost a little more but I know it'll fit.

Just got back from vacation and noticed your post. I just had a true flex put on the front of my 73 convert. The car is being repainted and the front end was cracked in half when they took it off. I got the true flex (same price at ecklers or corvette central). Body shop said it took them two hours to fit had to cut it.Make sure you get the retention system they sell bolts and hangers, it looks great and took paint better than the original. Good luck.
