Fiberglass stock front bumper
Hi,
I saw this front end, not sure if it is Fiberglassed or just a different bumper.
Has anyone tired to fiberglass the stock front bumper to fill in the gap in the middle before?
Here is a video of the car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpnLJGYwVRk
Thanks!

Isnt the stock front bumper urethane not fiberglass? Thats what it looked like on my friend gs bumper. They have a special material used to patch that back up. Its similar to putting a fiberglass bumper back together but has some diff processes in there. The reinforcing mat is diff and the resin used is also diff.

hope i can help here..
sorry for the blown up pics.. i dont know how to resize on this mac computer..
also low quality pics from my digi cam.. it's all i got.
anyway.. this was a fiberglass custom kit.. i received the front bumper with the middle opening all open.. i was able to use my factory foglights.. i cut the inserts off of my front bumper and added it onto the custom bumper.. it looks a bit cleaner this way imo.. this was actually meant for a turbo set up due to the intercooler.. so cause i didnt have turbo.. so i just did it this way..

Thanks for all the replies everyone!!! Yes, the gap that the TTE lip fills in. But i want to make mine cus i dont want to spend $300+ for it :P
Sorry, let me clear up what i meant.
Stock bumper:
See how the bottom of the front bumber has a gap. and the Right and Left sides hang lower. Kinda like it got its 2 front teeth punched out.
Bumper without the gap...yes i know its not the stock, but I'm wanting to modify my stock bumper to get a similar look. Any Tips???
Hopefully you guys can give me some tips. I plan on posting a DIY if it turns out nice.
