Default Bumper Cover

I am sure this has been hashed over before but I have been looking on Ecklers web site for a front bumper cover for my 77. They have fiberglass and urethane and some kind of combo in between which is the best other than factory G.M.? Where is the best place to purchase the cover? I am in Central Texas

If you want NCRS quality originality, you want the Urethane bumper. If you want perfect body lines, the fiberglass. The tweener covers are really for the daily drivers. I have not used one, but they are supposed to combine the fiberglass quality body lines in a cover that still has a little flex and can take a bump.

I dont want NCRS quality This car will be only a fair weather driver and maybe some local fast food car shows. I am looking for the best fitting cover.

In a similar active thread, someone said that fit of the urethane from GM Restoration parts was best. I think you can oder from them online.
