I made one out of stainless steel. It didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted but it works.

I was able to get an rc4wd bumper to fit but didn't like how it turned out.

thats pretty darn close to the real deal i bet the traxxasss overider brush bar would fit perfict on that
that might be another project though im liking my g8 bumpers more than i thought i would same with the fender flairs not that i would ever use them again i think they give that i cut the rust off and stuck these on to hide it look lol very scoutish

So, when are the Shapeways vendors releasing their own fender designs that use the factory mounting holes?

(couldn't resist...)

svt923, your bumper is pure sweetness!

And SSD, great to see you continuing to keep your finger on the pulse of the hobby - releasing products for those rigs that deserve upgrades!

(these posts are exhausting, I used to just be able to "like" and move on - now I'm forced to try and be witty and charming...)
