Well there are a couple of us that like the Glasworks bumper kits. There are a few threads here devoted to cars with this conversion. Mine is one of them.

Hands down best looking, best priced kit is glasworks,
It retains the heart and soul of the 68 to 72 and doesnt try to change a classic great look....

or you can check out priya's chrome conversion thread. doing it the hard way, which i intend to do to my 75 vert.

I so much admire Priya, her diligence with her project and can not wait to see it completed! It will be sweeeeet. And yes it will be correct in terms of the body lines staying true to a true chrome bumper car but with the 78 and up rear window design, which I think is very cool.
For me though, Don's conversion fit my plans for my car. While I love the look of the rear bumper conversion on my car and will be on for as long as I own the car, I will not be molding mine in as it will easily give the option of going back to the stock 75 bumper cover if a future owner ever wants to take the roadster back to stock.

It is the way I am gearing up to go with my 75 vert, but mine is a 3k copart bomb gonna forever say R title.

like say thanks, for you input,
thinking filling in the headlamp round light in the grill

i think most important keep the lines ....


i think thats look i like, front light in grill and chrome bumper,
think for glass works bumpers said cant use metal ones,
maybe try rework a set ,

the best chrome bumper kit is is an actual 68-72 car,

The13Bats

Hey, 73 is in there too....

Not a "kit" they came that way, but Being a 69 owner i humbly agree they are pretty cool but i do not believe any year is best,
Well, maybe the best year is the year the guy owns....

I got mine at custom image corvette fiberglass

but the front bumper the nose will be done. Because you will buy a fiberglass bumper to replace your old one
then add a small fiberglass one to give the chrome look

if I go back I will not add the large fiberglass bumper
I will only add the small one so the nose will be up standing just like the 70 one

but maybe mine will be more airow Dinamick 🤔

My body guy molded them together

This is the back
I add Costom bazules
