Default Vendor for a True Flex Front Bumper

I am in the market for a new front bumper and want to get the "True-Flex" type. Anyone have any suggestions for a vendor? Ecklers is only about 30 minutes from ym house so they are the obvious choice but I thought I recalled someone saying that their body pieces were somewhat inferior.

Thanks! :cheers:

MM,
I just bought exactly what you need!! Direct from Tru-Flex. Call and talk to Steve, tell him you want a real nice "second" (mine was a "first" that someone had returned) $200+$22 for Fed-ex. ...redvetracr

You can call ToledoProFiberGlass yourself(should be on Yahoo yellow pages for phone#)and get one directly from them. Three years ago, I bought a front and rear for $322, for both, shipping included. The ones I purchased were "seconds". Ones they could not sell to MidAmerica, Zip, CorvetteCentral,etc. They were mildly gouged and scraped, but a day of sanding and featherfilling took care of them. To me, it was worth the savings.
