Just FYI, the OE bumper will fit the G28 bodies with no problems.
I too had replaced my G28 front bumper with an OEM (fiberglass), and the modifications to the fenders to accept it were minimal. Now its been cut up and reworked to become a 670 lol!

Mike, do you know if a rear OEM bumper can be made to fit a G28 with slight modifications?

Thanks,

Chris

Bull no need to wait on this, it was one of the fastest most simple things I have done... Not kidding all this took me less then 30 minutes. Now it will take me longer to get the mounting tabs made but other then that very easy and straight forward. Ill show where I cut it later, evidently it was in a pretty good spot. I didn't have to cut twice! ::toothy

And NO I didn't get a rear bumper I sure wish I had at this point I sure think it will fit...

The front bumper looks great and rumor had it that the front and rear bumpers on a G28 were modeled around OEM parts and this at least verifies it for the front.  Are you trying one of John's rear bumpers as well (I noticed yours is off the car).

I figured that the rockers would require a little more attention than the bumper since the G28 rockers were formed in the style of OEM but not a exact as the front bumper.  Please keep the pictures coming as I'll be taking this on (hopefully) this summer.

Thanks,

Chris

And finally I am happy to report that the new bumper is almost a direct replacement to the old Nose up G28 bumper! It was just cut and install with very minimal glass work needed. I did all of this from cutting the old bumper off the mocking the new one up in less then 30 min, the gap on the hood will need to be slightly redone and mounting flanges will need to be made on the fenders. The rockers are another story they will need some attention, not really to bad but they wont mount on the top of the kick panel like OEM (they will sit to high).

Made a little progress over the last week or so. Little more work on the chassis getting ready for the doors. Still lots more work to do on the chassis before I am happy with strength of using the Fiero tub...

With everything going on around the holidays here, not getting much work accomplished. Here are a few things I have been slowly working on. I talked to Batbuilder and asked if he minded if I borrowed his idea for the front spoiler/bumper protection so I had this made. Also made the door/dash/body mount still needs to be framed and finished welded up.

Nice, the oem bumper looks much different than the G28's
I don't even know how the grills are able to fit in the g28
