all vanagons had fiberglass front and rear bumpers from 88-'91, except the 
90-91 non gl's.    i have a bunch of good used fiberglass bumpers and rocker 
trim panels for sale.  usually get $300 for front and $375 for rears 
complete, or as always, am open to offers.

fyi, here is a post i saved from months ago..:

just a FYI to all you folks who were wondering. �Today i called the local VW 
dealer to get prices on a full set of fiberglass bumpers and lower body 
claddding/rocker trim for the vanagon. �here's the current prices, new from 
VW as of 6/28/01. 
keep in mind - these come UNPAINTED, in black primer. 
NEW from VW: 
Front bumper, fiberglass - $546.00 
Rear bumper, middle section, fiberglass - $423.00 
Left Rear bumper end cap, fiberglass - $165.00 
Right Rear bumper end cap, fiberglass - $255.00 (i guess its a supply and 
demand thing - more people back into stuff in the right rear than the left 
rear) 
Left front door lower trim/cladding - $150.00 
Right front door lower trim/cladding - $170.00 
Left side rocker trim/cladding - $365.00

total cost if you buy all the above NEW from VW = $2900.00 

just something to think about the next time you are backing up...
