Default Urethane or Tru Flex Bumpers?

I would appreciate some opinions regarding which way to go...

OEM Urethane, Reproduction Urethane or Tru Flex Bumpers for a '77 Vette?

I had ordered a set of Tru Flex Bumpers from Willcox and though they are very nice, I was not expecting to have to modify / remove some of the brackets, so I'm a bit less enthusiastic about them.

I'm not trying for a perfect car, I'm going for something that's as close to a factory appearance as possible.

I'd really appreciate any inputs regarding personal experiences and satisfaction with any of these options.

Thank You
Troy

I installed a front Tru flex bumper. It will require some fitting as each car is different. I had to fill the driver side gap and body to make it right. You can expect a little work to make it fit. OEM bumpers fit better but are a bit more expensive and prone to failure like the one on it now.(wavy and they deteriorate)

I would stay with the Tru Flex rather than Urethane. Worth the extra work.
