    Hey guys. I am looking for a recommendation on how I should fill the bare spots on either side of my rear bumper. Circled the spot in the photo. I was thinking of 3d printing a piece of plastic to cover it, or maybe talking to a local metal fab shop and having them build something. What do you guys think? Thanks

    Are you able to weld? A thin piece of sheet metal bent around there and welded on would look great.

    Wish I could weld! Maybe I could track someone down in my area that could weld a piece of sheet metal on for me.

    Call @allpro . They can send you the right direction for a company that makes the filler pieces (allpro used to sell them).

    Let us know the scoop as I'm sure there are others *cough me cough* with similar intentions. That's the only thing holding me back from a rear tube bumper.

    Just talked to a guy from allpro on the phone. He told me it would be best to work with a local fabricator and come up with a solution. Thanks for the idea though!

    I would contact someone local or if you know anyone who welds in your area, it should be pretty simple to just add some thin sheet metal to the bumper.

    Worth a shot I guess, Sorry I was sure someone else just recently had sourced some from them. Keep us updated with what you come up with.
