Default rear bumper covers

i drive an 81 and love the body style. and i love the rear end on the 68-73 c3 s best. does anyone make a cover that resembles the 73 rear end for use on rubber bumper cover c3s? im sure most of you think this would be an abomination to bastardize my car . but hey . its my car. ill do what i want with it. ive looked but have not found anything. i see 80s style front ends on 68-73s all the time. if theyre not being made you wilcox guys might want to check into that. you can send me your first one for a test drive!

Custom Image Corvette



I'm hoping to buy one myself. I think it looks good as is. No need to add the chrome bumpers.

I have a 79 and I love the look of the chrome bumper models....
I think it'd be neat to see a photoshop of some chromies on a newer tail end as I've never seen one.

i must say thats pretty close. without the chrome bumpers it looks like a stock c 4 rear end. especially with the "corvette " between the tai lights. i checked out their website . looks decent on a bubble back vette too.

oh wow, sorry for bringing up a semi-old post but I've been wanting a bumper like that for as long as I can remember. Where/who do you get these bumpers from?
