yes, i put the whole fiberglass kit (bumpers, sideskirts etc) on my 84.
why? because i had it and i think it looks cool.  was it practical?  No.  now
i worry about being re-rended all the time and having my $600 (new) rear
fiberglass bumper being busted into little chuncks of fiberglass hair.. where
as before, with my steel bumper, for $100 i could get a new replacement..
anyway.
if anyone is interested, i have some fiberglass bumpers for sale, tho..as
well as rear fiberglass bumper endcaps and side skirt pieces..
