I guess I've looked at about all the bumper options. I bought new REPRO front and rear bumpers for my '66 convert, and will probably do the same when the hardtop comes together. I bought both at car shows / swap meets. With something this visible, I wanted to be able to eyeball them before ordering sight unseen from some place far away. I am happy with each. The chrome plating is nice and even, and they fit good. I have been told there are at least two different manufacturers of repro bumpers for our cars, and that one is pretty chinsy, and the other pretty good. My advice is to make arrangements for one to be brought to a show, and look it over.
