They must have molded them themselves and it doesn't look like that great of a job. It's hard to tell the quality from just one shot. All I can say is RICE!

Actually, it looks as if somebody is trying to smooth out the bumpers. Those bumps in there serve no purpose.

Not the rear bumper, they added the stupid fake air diffuser ribs to the rear bumper. RICE!

It looks like stock bumpers that were done over with fiberglass. Thats why it needs to be primed and painted.

No, that's molded plastic not fiberglass and they are definitely not stock.

So that that mean it would chip easier since its molded plastic?

No, it's less likely to chip than fiberglass but why would you want them. Look at how horrible the exhaust cut out is. Oh yeah also RICE! Put those on and you are going to ruin your beautiful HHR. The smooth front bumper isn't that bad but I have no idea what they were thinking when designing the rear.

I'm not going to put them on. I'm just curious. However I would love to have a smooth front and rear bumper. Nothing as nuts as that rear.
