My 67 is in need of a new front bumper. Does anyone have a recent experience with a new bumper that they are happy with? The archives are full of complaints such as bad fitment and grinding marks beneath the chrome. I'd like to get mine rechromed but it's a 2 h drive to the nearest shop and several weeks wait. Any suggestions on new ones?

Not sure about a front one but the rear bumper i got from AMD fit like a glove on my 68. Havent made my way to the front yet but when i do I'll probably be going with AMD
They look cheesy. The chrome is bright and shiny but the edges aren't right. I assume there is only one manufacturer and they speak Chinese, although it is the non-commie Chinese in Taiwan. Decent originals aren't that hard to find, at least the non-400 bumpers.
I had mine done at Tri-City, they came out nice. When I was inquiring, it sounded like they had some already done and you could purchase one from them. Probably have to pay a core fee. Anyways, they ship if you don't want to drive.
