I molded in the front and rear bumpers on my 80 vette. I used the flex fiberglass bumpers on the car. I added fiberglass to the inside of the bumper to make them more rigid. I bolted and bonded on the bumpers. Then I ground a V into the seam and laid my fiberglass mat and resin in there. I used the proper resin for this body. I used Evercoat resin for SMC panels. After I sanded the cured fiberglass I filled the indents and pinholes with filler. I then primed block sanded straight and then epoxy coated the whole car and then the next day wetsanded with 400 and put on my base. PPG black. I then put on my universal clear. With the paint not cut and buffed you don´t see anything, the areas look perfect. But after I buffed out the rear bumper area I could see a seam line. You can only see it from different angles and not straight on. The panels are perfect with no ripples in the body work. It also seems to stand out more after I run the buffer over it.
The front bumper which I did the same way is fine as are the top of the rear bumper. I would post a picture but it didn´t show up in it. If you looked at the car you probably wouldn´t notice it unless I pointed it out to you.
