Reply to "Correct Euro Bumper Placement (Pre-L)"

Steve,

The bumpers in the photo with the rubber edging are from Pantera Performance in Castle Rock, Colorado. I think they sell them in both fiberglass and carbon fiber if memory serves me correct.

When I was in California last month, I stopped in at PIM and they had the carbon fiber bumperettes in stock. They also said that they could get the fiberglass versions if I wanted them.

Also Hall Pantera has some metal versions in black and also some chrome ones listed on their website.

I would bet the most of the other vendors sell similar, if not the same, bumperettes too.

Prior to pulling my L bumpers I was trying to decide if I should go with bumperettes or no bumpers at all. I was lucky enough to borrow a set of euro bumperettes from another Pantera owner before I pulled mine off so I could take a look at my car with the bumperettes and without.

I have decided to go with the bumperettes but have decided to make my own out of metal. I took some measurements from the borrowed set and have mocked up some prototypes which look very similar, if not the same, to the ones I borrowed.

When I get my bumperettes closer to being done I’ll snap some photos to show you how they look.
