I doubt many have purchased 2 bumpers to compare side-by-side, thus the silence.
I will simply offer that I have yet to find a single OER part that was worth very much more than its weight in scrap...
But I admit I haven't tried their body panels. Mostly talking about trim pieces, rubber/plastic parts, springs, misc bits and goodies like that. Many 100% worthless, others can be made to work with creative trimming/adjusting/messing around, so only 60% worthless. So frankly I find myself running from that OER brand whenever possible.
I have not heard of a single repop front bumper that has reasonably fit. On the other hand, I think almost all repop rear bumpers fit pretty good. They just look cheap and have lots of wrinkles along the bottom that the originals did not have. I think you are much further ahead having an original front rechromed. (and possibly the rear if you are picky)
I have a few front and rear original bumper cores if anyone needs them.

Bought a OER rear bumper from CI #9788872 and it bolted right up and lined up good and looks great. But I can tell you this thou I havent had my car very long and I didnt really inspect my old rear bumper. Tossed it. But the new ones appear to be for show only if you know what i mean!!
Region Warrior: I also think that my car hates me!!! No! No! I sure of it!!
So far the best deal I have found is thru the race shop at Summit and Jegs,between the two of them they have Goodmark and OER, I think I'm going to go with Goodmark as I have had some minor issues with other OER parts.
