I'm curious about opinions on current reproduction bumpers on the market. Looking for front and rear bumpers for a 70 Cuda.

My rear bumper could probably be rechromed, but the front bumper would need some work to make it straight again.

Based on what I've heard recently on rechroming costs, it sounds like new repro would be the cheaper way to go if the quality is OK.

AMD sells a set for a bit over $500. Has anyone seen or purchased these?

Thanks

I have seen them in person at shows...

They are not bad, about as good as the "average" chrome shop would do. Some small (not that noticeable) imperfections here and there; but overall real nice...

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..

Great for them money I think - I will be getting a set.

Are they as heavy and thick as originals??

The AMD ones I saw at shows had chrome that was about as good as orig...and seemed about as thick. I do know that AMD had some fit problems with the Challenger rear bumpers and they are retooling them.

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.
