Couple of quick shots of the back of my car.
Just a heads up that the photos are rather large.

I personally think chrome looks better. How much weight does that save?

Chrome. The painted bumper, to me, makes the rear look like it has been chopped off.

if u really wanna go with the fiberglass cause of weight i remember seeing a company that could paint anything and made it look like it was chromed no matter wut it was painting i remember them doin a demo on a thin piece of plastic and once it was dry it looked like chrome but it still had the flexibility of the plastic with out messing the paint up

and i think the main reason to go with a fiberglass bumper is that the cost like 1/3 of wut a new chrome bumper costs
