Dan,
IMHO, good for a driver...
Ray 
How does the finish compare to the plating on an original NOS bumper?

No problems with my AMD, I'm quite happy with it.

Was not happy with the ones I got for my charger. Don't know if they retooled them or not. Got them in 08.

AMD does make some quality stuff but there chrome bumpers seem to be hit or miss
That seems to be the case with their bumpers, if you have the opertunity to hand pick a bumper of choice from one of their vendors in person, rather than get the "straw draw" by random delivery from ordered stock, you stand a better chance....
I used one of AMD's Charger rear bumpers (2004) the fit was excellent, and while it wasn't triple chrome show finish, it was better than original, it's been on the car for 7+ years now, no issues with the finish...
Dan if your looking at AMD E body bumpers, those are a real crapshoot regarding fit/finish, you'd be better off with Keystones E body bumpers

Mike,
Actually, I am considering bumpers for a 70 Dart. My E Body bumpers were rechromed years ago, and are waiting for the cars to be completed.

Who carries the E-body Keystones? Be nice if it was Year-1 with it being a 30% off weekend!
YO did carry Keystones, I don't know if they have switched vendors?, but YO has no problem telling you who the vendor of any item is that they are currently being supplied by, should you decide to order them, but you need to call, no emails
Last I recall no discounts on bumpers
