I have actually seen it done on an FB, and it looks pretty good. Just take off the bumper and fill in all the holes and make it just one curve. Looks pretty neat, but just dont' get rear ended.

Any pics? I'm having a hard time imagining what that would look like. Sounds cool though.

i dont know how to work with fiberglass, but this is what i was thinking: make some supports then lay the sheets of fiberglass, then bondo all the inconsistencies.
