thanks for letting me know that oem bumpers fit well and have good QC.

I had a long conversation with an owner of one of the bumper mfg that's been in the business since the 80's and said the problem with fiberglass is stress cracks. he said poly is the way to go so that leaves limited options. I do body and paint as a hobby on my own stuff so wasn't to worried about fiberglass but don't want to fix it all the time unless I damage it. Another option I just ran across on YouTube was grafting a newer OEM bumper to existing one. Looks interesting.
