You might want to talk to Tilley about that. I believe (could be wrong) he fiberglassed Redmax's rear bumper to his rear quarter panels. He could probably give you good advice on it.

Yeah, I need to talk to him like whoa. [That] would not be too difficult although I am not too keen on the fact the rear quarters panels and bumper would be one peice.

iduno if it was a good idea, ive considered it and talked to people about it, but it defeats the purpose of eureuthane. If you fiberglass eurethane lips to the bumper, you hit something and it comes in contact with your lip, there goes ur entire bumper, in my opinon it is not worth it, but it looks sick, and with a fiberglass master like yourself, if anything happens i believe you could fix it relatively cheaply, go for it man!
