Default 73 Bumper Cover

I've been away from the forum for awhile. The everyday pressure of life kept me away. Glad to see nothing has changed here. I am looking for opinions on replacement non-NOS bumper covers for my 73. Does anybody have any good or bad experiances with aftermarket covers? What makers do you recommend? I would like the type that has an open center grille area (so that a center grille may be installed). Thanks Chuck D

I used tru-flex from Toledo Ohio they fit good and look better on.I used my old hardware and just cleaned it up on my wire wheel . A ratchet wrench The size of that little bolt on all of the nuts on the bumper works fantastic and made the job go alot faster.
