my 68 reproduction bumper review

I wanted to find an original rear bumper for my '68 442 but hadn't had much luck over the past few months. I ordered a reproduction through Tamraz on Ebay for $327 shipped to my door. I wasn't expecting much but figured it would work until I found an original.
It arrived in just a few days. I opened the box and it looked decent. Not show chrome by any means but similar to an OEM chrome finish. I installed it and it took about an hour of jockeying the bumper brackets around but I was able to get it to line up pretty good with pretty even gaps. I weighed it and it was actually two pounds heavier than the OEM Cutlass bumper I removed.
Overall I would recommend this bumper for 90% of the cars out there excluding trailer queen show cars of course. Can't really complain for the price.

agree...

I picked one up for my 69 and I agree it looks very good for the price I have 2 original cores but both need some work and felt this was Avery viable alternative I put them side by side and it is exceedingly alike

x2! Got one for my 69 hard top project. I installed it without any issues and it fits very good.
