Default Rear Bumper Question.

I am looking to replace my rear bumper on my 75. I currently have a 80 style bumper that has a fin which I do not like. I would like to change it out for a stock one. I see two diffrent styles in Ecklers, fiberglass and flex-fit. What is the diffrence???? Or dose some one have a stock they would like to trade for a 80 style one with a fin. I have pictures I can e-mail.

Send me a pic of your bumper. I tried to e-mail you but it was sent back. I have one off my 78 that is black in excellent condition that I may swap out. Not sure if I want to go with a spoiler or not.

The white spot on the side of the bumper is a rain drop on the camera lens

Juan,
I got the 2 pics in the e-mail but could not really see anything because of the distance. Do you have some other pictures up closer. I posted a few of the one I have above. Is the spoiler built into the bumper or separate from the bumper? Is it just the bumper cover you need?

Well......The Flex-It does exactly what it sound like it does, It Flexes. The fiberglass is just like the rest of the fiberglass on the car.

Neil, it's just the bumper cover I need. It's all one piece. I'll try to take closer pictures today.
