Default Need help finding this BUMPER!!!



This bumper is what I am looking for, I need to know the name of the company that made this, it is a racing bumper but with no name to go along with it. I was told it was made by a company called Southern Fiberglass and the company that is listed under that name in Flordia has never produced anything for corvettes. So I come to the all KNOWIG group to help me find this bumper for my car.
PLEASE HELP

the words snake skinner or snake skinner II come to mind.

tommy morrison might have something to do with that.

If I can try to remember way back, A guy named john rovner who runs the teamZr1 web page (there are 2 pages) put this kit on his long gone ZR1. I think he went through hell to get it.

This front end is very similar to the Snake Skinner front end but it is not it, I have spoken with the gentlemen who owns the molds for the snake skinner kit. This one is made by a company called Southern Fiberglass and I can't find them.

It looks great but i can tell you right now its more then likely gonna scrape and possibly break when it does.... just something to think about before you spend all that money on it and the install and paint.... it does look good though

It's for a race car, not a street car.

Anybody who would buy that for a street car and actually drive with it needs to be shot.
