OK, my next question: anyone had the pleasure of installing one of the tucked fiberglass bumper replacements on the 'Camino? Once again, tell me about it, where did you get it, how much, was it a decent product, would you recommend the brand/type/style? I like the looks of the tucked and painted bumper, had grand visions of using my steel bumper to do this with. Turns out that it is just not feasable to try it, I could never get the "look" I am trying to get with the steel bumper without just cutting it all to pieces and still not getting it right. Let me hear from you guys, Thanks again...PACO

I used the tucked fiberglass bumper and spoiler from Lauren engineering. They worked out fine and were not that hard to fit. You are also able to keep the bumper shocks sticking out from the frame so there is a little protection. You can see pictures if you click the link below in my signature.

just keep in mind they are fiberglass, I have had many various types of fiberglass components on a lot of my vehicles and unless you don't plan on driving it a lot I would stay away from them, especially front ones, all it takes is a small pebble hitting it at hwy cruising speed to send you right back to the paint and body shop

I installed mine with no problems, it fit nice and looks great! Got it off of EBay with the front spoiler and rear tuck bumper. They are fiberglass and offer NO protection. I had to get one with a license plate pocket so the inner front bumper wouldn't work.
I initally cut my 2 3/4 in from each side of my steel bumper and welded it back together. That looked good as well but I had problems with the filler on the fender and had a gap, so I went with the fiberglass.
