Default 76 Sting Ray bumper replacement

Looking to replace both front and rear bumpers. Currently they are urethane and need replacement. Looking for suggestions on replacement for the best fit. so either urethane, fiberglass or ?

Are YOU doing the work???

BOTH will work BUT it depends on what YOU want.

There are pro's and cons to both....

The urethane bumpers will be just like what you have and if you can live with slight waves in it...them go that route. They will bolt right up and be somewhat easily adjusted due to their flexibility.

Fiberglass bumpers can be a 'hit or miss' on how they fit when installed. AND if they need to be modified to fit....then that will cost more.

What dub said, also if you are into light mods you could run a 80-82 rear bumper which look very nice on 74-79 cars...
