I need a front and rear bumper for a 1974 Bird....They need to be either fibergalss or aluminum and be direct bolt on replacements for the stock bumpers...I am looking for significant weight savings.

All I want to do is paint them and bolt them on ...they must look oem. The front bumper shall have the licensplate and small lower front bumper included

I will pay 2000.00 for this setup.

704-372-0106 after 5:00pm eastern.

I really dont think that its possible, and if it is the amount of time it would take to do it would cost more than 2 grand. I have a 74 trans am. The rear bumper isnt that heavy. My guess would be 50lbs on the rear bumper. And the front bumper is around 100 to 125lbs. Just doesnt make sense to me. Save your money. There are so many other ways to lighten the car, Fiberglass hood, fenders, lighter rims, no a/c no power windows........you could BuMp Up ThE hOrSePoWer. If you wanna lighten up the bumpers do what they did to the early 60s pontiac race cars and drill holes through the metal, or cut out sections..SWISS CHEESE BUMPERS
