    Is anyone aware of a fiberglass or lightweight replacement for a US GT4 77? I see Superformance has replacements for the European model.

    I have looked without success. Found a local fiberglass shop that would make a mould off my bumpers then a limited run but there was no interest here.

    I got in touch with Berlinetta Motorsports in NY and here is the scoop:
    - they only have a mold for the front bumper
    - a fiberglass front bumper from this mold will cost $1950
    - they can make a mold for a rear bumper but someone would have to ship an original to them
    - cost to make a rear mold would be $1950
    - cost to make a fiberglass bumper from the rear mold would be $1950
    - cost to make mounting brackets for a pair of bumpers would be $1600

    That is way more than I am prepared to spend.

    I had a local fiberglass company quote $2000 to make molds and bumpers last year. That was during COVID when they were real slow so their price may have gone up some but if you are interested I will contact them again and get an updated quote.

    Sounds like a job they don’t want to do

    Just leave te front bumper off, it will have a Mangusta effect with the front lights down low.
