They use the original bumpers though.

i was always under the impression that you got wider fibreglass gsi bumpers with that kit?

[novaguy08]

no, the bumpers are flexable enough that you can bend them outwards......... so you can use the originals and they only come with the arches & skirts

why dont you wake your own set of wide arches, all you need to do is cut along the bottom swage line, pull it out an inch or so and weld it back up, ive done this with a few novas ive owned before they have went to be painted, you can only widen them about an inch and a half though before they start to distort and go mis-shapen, its best to do them while still on the car so they retain there original shape
