Default Need help identifying this rear bumper

Does anyone remember this custom rear bumper that was advertised all over about 10 years ago. It was made for 73-82 corvettes. The tail or lip was molded into the bumper and rose up about 6-8 inches. It was an alternative to bolting on a lip rear spoiler to your 78-79 or it was an alternative to your 80-82 vettes low profile spoiler. I believe Eckler's carried it.

BINGO. That is exactly it. Do you happen to know the manufacturer or where it is sold anymore?
