Hi
to reduce soem weight I would like to replace the bumpers on my El Camino 71.
To find the front bumper is no problem, but does anybody know a source for the rear?

i would think you want to keep the weight in the rear. jmo, bad place to loose weight.

I would keep the rear metal, besides if someone hits you metal is better for small bumps. The glass will break much easier.

Thanks for your advise, I should have been more precise why I would like to use glasfiber.
The rear bumper does not look to good, and I would like to paint them in same colour as the car. My believing was its easier and cheaper to get it done with glassfiber bumpers.
However the point about loosing weight in the rear is taken
