Quality Reproduction Bumpers

Does anyone know where I can find the best reproduction bumpers for a 1972 cutlass? I would have sent my originals out for re-chroming, however they are rusted out. I'm looking for a show chrome product without purchasing reproduction bumpers and sending them to a chrome plater.

In my honest opinion, I think Tamraz has the best reproduction bumper. I did use the rear one they have because I wanted the cutouts on the bumper. My original bumper I had rechromed but since it did not have the cutouts I changed and bought the rear one from Tamraz. I am happy and it does have really good quality to it. In fact my car won 3rd place trophy with it. Allan who is also a member here used their bumper and he stands highly behind it. You will find some people who think repo bumpers are garbage but I really like Tamraz bumper on my car. http://www.tamrazsparts.com/71-72-cu...chrome-plated/

Tamraz is one of the best bumpers for 72 Cutlass. Their quality is fantastic and fitment was excellent. Same thickness of metal, weight is almost identical to OEM, and chrome quality is top notch. Price is compatible with the market nowadays too. Shipping was quick and bumper well packaged.

Just my $.02 but I'd be surprised if they aren't all getting their bumpers from the same manufacturer.

IDK Ron. When I bought mine it was listed as triple plated, whereas the others weren't. It might have changed in the interim. I'm sure you're 100% right about that when it comes to things like repop grills and other trim though. Same parts with different prices. Pays to shop around.
