I used them, can't complain. They fit and look good. I did have some issues with the rear bumper guards, not sure if thats the bumper or the guards as both were repops. One just sticks out further than the other side. I read comments about the rears bowing some, I didn't notice til I read that and can tell what they mean a little. They are not 100% perfectly smooth, but can only notice in certain lighting in the shop. In the sun they look great.

....maybe about 95% as good as tri-city does; miles away from bumper boys; but not in your face like some of the very expensive "show chrome" places can do...
Who are the Bumper Boys? I've never heard of them. Are they that much better than Tri-city?
I mean miles away in a bad way, not good... a friend of mine with a dart used them it it appeared like they did not straghtn them at all or even make an attempt to make them smooth. they are all wavy blotchy in spots...
Tri-city in general is good and "fair" prices, but for the money I can not see hot the new ones are a bad deal. Tri-city wants another 100 + core charge and they still might not turn out "that" well. Plus you can not go from another year (if you want to put 70 style on your 73).
