Just got hold of a reasonably priced and pretty mint fiberglass bumper/splitter combined. Reference my aerodynamics thread in general chat.
Some of these will fit over the bumper i believe and this one slides on ,so far, with the bumper in place but might fit if I took the end caps off. Can't find any indication of who made it but it does seem nice and thick and a quality part.
Came sans any fitting bracketry so was really asking....... has anyone fitted one of these before and any advice?
heres the e bay pic.

Trying to work out if nobody knows or there is total disdain for the very idea?

Re: Bumper/splitter combination
No it doesnt sit on top of the old bumper. Its just gtoing to make it sit more forward than it should. Take the old metal bumper off and see if the bolt holes line up. Ive got a set of fiberglass repo big bumpers wating to go on my van and wouldnt think of mounting them over the steel bumpers.
Re: Bumper/splitter combination
Oh well at least someone else is thinking of fitting them.

Re: Bumper/splitter combination
Im just saving up to get mine painted. My bumpers doesnt have the chin spoiler molded to it though. Ive have the 5 piece spoiler bolted onto the van itself not the bumper.
Re: Bumper/splitter combination
Five piece looks neater but this was a lot cheaper

Re: Bumper/splitter combination
i would do a trial fit first before painting as most of these type of front spoiler bumper kits the fitment was terrible and needs a lot of work for it to look half decent ,, the only good quality one is from project two if its one of theres it will be marked up on the inside of panel
