TRU FLEX BUMPERS by Toledo
Pro Fiberglass are the obvious answer
to the bumper dilemma. They have the benefits of both urethane
and fiberglass bumpers. They are made using a revolutionary,
specially formulated resin. Our formula, using an entirely new
chemistry concept in resins, links a urethane molecule to a
stable polyester base that is formulated from the beginning to
be both flexible and tough, is not just a common resin with a
compromising additive. Our hand laying of True Flex resin with
top quality fiberglass mat by highly skilled craftsmen provides
unequaled consistency in weight and uniformity of thickness. By
combining these factors, Toledo Pro Fiberglass created TRU FLEX
BUMPERS.

NOTE:
Our bumpers have a black gelcoat finish. It is normal for these parts to
have chips, scratches and even minor cracks. These issues are usually
resolved when prepping the parts for primer by lightly sanding. All
fiberglass parts should be fitted to the car before final finishing.
Sanding and filling the bumper and in some cases the body, will result
in perfectly matching body lines.

Why TRU FLEX?
Until now, there were
only two choices of replacement bumpers for your Corvette. Original
factory replacement urethane bumpers, or fiberglass replacement
bumpers. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
Urethane bumpers were original equipment on your Corvette. They
stretch and bend quite easily, making it easy for them to
accommodate the minor differences in body panel alignment that
exists between one Corvette and another. This stretching is a big
advantage when installing the bumper cover to your Corvette. They
are made out of a soft compound and can withstand very minor impacts
without noticeable damage. However, any impact strong enough to
damage the paint will more than likely tear the bumper causing it to
be destroyed.
Urethane decomposes with heat and age, causing the bumpers to ripple
and shrink, and the paint to fade. Since the surface of a urethane
bumper does not match the harder surface of your Corvette's
fiberglass body, the paints lays differently, causing light to
reflect differently, which causes the paint to show a different
color, especially metallics.
Ordinary fiberglass replacement bumpers are very rigid. They do not
ripple like urethane. Their paintable surface matches that of your
Corvette and they do not decompose with heat and age like urethane.
Several factors limit the fit of a fiberglass replacement bumper,
however. Ordinary fiberglass bumpers (if they are made using quality
tooling and materials) provide an excellent surface to sand and
paint but are sometimes very difficult to install. They sometimes
just do not match the shape of your Corvette. Since ordinary
fiberglass is rigid, it tends to shatter on impact, generally
causing the bumper to be destroyed.
The Bumper Dilemma has always plagued both Corvette owners and body
shop workers. The fact is, sooner or later, the stock urethane
bumper will have to be replaced. Should it be replaced with with
another urethane bumper that is sure to ripple and will be
harder to paint to match the rest of the Corvette, but will pacify
the need to keep it "Factory"? Should it be replaced with a
fiberglass bumper that will be harder to fit and not quite
"original" but will keep it's shape and shine bright with matching
color? This is indeed a real moment of truth!
TRU FLEX BUMPERS by Toledo Pro Fiberglass are the obvious answer to
the bumper dilemma. They have the benefits of both urethane and
fiberglass bumpers. They are made using a revolutionary, specially
formulated resin. Our formula, using an entirely new chemistry
concept in resins, links a urethane molecule to a stable polyester
base that is formulated from the beginning to be both flexible and

hand laying of True Flex resin with top quality fiberglass mat by
highly skilled craftsmen provides unequaled consistency in weight
and uniformity of thickness. By combining these factors, Toledo Pro
Fiberglass created TRU FLEX BUMPERS.
What does this mean to you? It means that TRU FLEX BUMPERS are an
answer to the Bumper Dilemma. They are 70% mare flexible than an
ordinary fiberglass bumper, but incredibly tougher than a urethane
bumper. TRU FLEX BUMPERS have the structural integrity and the same
hard, smooth , easy to sand surface that ordinary fiberglass does,
but are very easy to install due to the fact that they are flexible.
If a TRU FLEX BUMPER becomes damaged it can be repaired with any
common polyester resins or fillers. They have the same "feel" and
"give" that a urethane bumper does. Once they ar installed it is
difficult to tell TRU FLEX BUMPERS apart from the original bumpers
that came on your Corvette. Since Toledo Pro Fiberglass uses only
the best materials, TRU FLEX BUMPERS hold their shape. Finally,
bumper covers that are flexible enough to fit your Corvette and yet
will last for years- TRU FLEX BUMPERS
