Re: Bob's fiberglass and Spider bumpers

["PETER FUGEDI" <cybertrance@domain.elided>]

I am in search of replacement bumpers for my 79 Spider too.  The current
original ones are falling apart and are butt ugly.  If any has a source
for NOS or fiber glass I would be very interested.  Or if anyone is
parting out a late 70's Spider with a decent set of bumpers I would be
interested in that too.  Southern California area preferred since I think
shipping these would cost considerably more that what used bumpers are
worth.
