Front bumper bottom reinforcement to stop it from flexing?

[randizzle420]

I'm missing the metal plate for the bottom of my front bumper. I believe the plate is discontinued. Should I just make my own with like fiberglass? Do you guys think that's all I'll need to stop it from flexing so the paint doesn't get spider cracks?

Thanks. How come there are two of them? Also it just says for 2g. Will this work on a 97-99 bumper and does anyone make a top plate? I think I'm missing that too. Thanks

You'll have to ask the manufacturer that.
But I assume it is to show the 1g version and the 2g version.

And yes it should work with 997-99 bumpers

If you were going to make one, you should use sheet metal and not fiberglass.

For the 2gb bumpers (1997-99) that lower plate is part number MB914136.

You can find more info on the 2gb front bumper cover and its plates and components here.

Yeah but I'm not skilled at metal work figured since they make the bumper (not bumper cover) out of fiberglass then a bumper support made out of it should work as well
