Default 73 Front Bumper

Need some suggestions on a new front bumper for a 73. Urethane or fiberglass...and where have you seen the best prices? Doesn't have to be "authentic"...my numbers don't match already...just needs to fit well and look decent!
Thanks.
mike

Here is a recent old thread that discussed this. Urathane for easy fit but fiberglass for a better look.

I just ordered a GM bumper cover from GM parts direct. Others on this forum have bought from them They had the best price for an OEM cover. Shipping was a little high, but still the cheapest price.

Numerous members of this forum have gone the after market fiberglass or flexible fiberglass route. I am sure they will chime in on this subject. No matter which way you go, there are pros and cons.
