    The picture looks good. How is the quality of the bumper? Any issues with mounting it?

    I bet they start to rust if you leave them overnight in a fog

    Nothing is gonna beat a good OEM piece.

    My factory one is bent on the end (downwards). Unsure if that’s fixable or not? If not this is a decent alternative unless I stumble upon an original

    Here's the harsh reality fellas. We can **** all over these if you want, but there is a finite number of originals out there, and we should probably be happy for every new part that gets brought to market this point. A less-than-oem bumper beats no bumpers at all last I checked....

    True on all cars, with the exception of a '55 Chevy nose.

    I hope they come out great. And rear bumpers too.

    If I were to purchase one I would paint the complete backside of the bumper as I did with my originals.

    Ryans-GSX Have fun, life is short.

    For a driver car or a clone I am excited to see a bumper reproduced. All the Buicks I see dont need perfect rechromed orig bumpers. Like others have said I hope they make a rear bumper as well.

    No sh*t. At least put your eyes on one before you complain about it for Christ's sake.

    I’d take a not clean original if it was straight and not bent at this point :cool:
