AAR (brand) Fiberglass Bumper Reviews?
« on: August 06, 2011 - 09:52:56 AM »
Has anyone installed the AAR Brand fiberglass bumpers? Do they fit and finish well? I would like the tight painted fit of the elastomeric bumpers but don't really want to pay thousands of dollars for the Gene Gregory elastomeric reproductions.

This for a Challenger.

Thanks-Wes

Tor-Red (Jeff) has one on the front of his Cuda.  Looked pretty good at Carlisle, but PM him and he can tell you more.

I just purchased one from aar myself, At first I was not totally happy with it. Since receiving it I have only had the chance to compare it to one other elastomeric. And now that I look more closely it fits very similar to the one elastomeric I have seem so far.

I have bought a couple bumpers from AAR and I`m very happy with there quality.I had one on my `69 Barracuda and now have one on my `72 although it is not finished/painted yet.Both only took minor sanding to clean up the edges and for a nice smooth finish you will need to block sand and prime before paint.I atached mine with homemade aluminum brackets but you can mount them using your stock ones if you want.
