Info on converting 88 to wide molding
Hi and thanks....So im building my 88, and i want to replace the front and rear bumper because i want the fiberglass ones. I want to convert the car to the wide molding. The stock kit is like $800 (for the early moldings), and plus i like the look of the wide molding better...
Out of all the catalogs i have, the only molding i can find is the small ones on the q/panel.....Does anyone make a kit? I see Corvette Central has a full kit, with the ft and rear bumper, but its like $4000. I cant do that much at once. Does anyone offer the pieces individually?
Thanks everyone....

So does anyone sell the pieces? Are the moldings on the front and rear bumpers on wide molding cars molded into the bumper? Is that why?
Thanks!

That's assuming you've bought '91+ fenders and the correct bumper covers.

forum member jeffp1167 did this on an early C4, and as I remember, the pics looked pretty good. I did a search, and jeff's pics are no longer available, and it looks like jeff hasn't posted anything for 2-3 years now - he may be long gone along with his pics. as I recall, he took some late model C4 door molding, and reworked it to fit the early C4 bumpers. here's a link to the original thread...
