70-72 Front Bumper Guards

I have a “Want to Buy” thread in the “C3 Parts for Sale/Wanted” section wanting to buy NOS or in very good condition, left and right set of front bumper guards for my 1971 coupe.

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...er-guards.html

Has anyone installed reproduction 70-72 front bumper guards and have any feedback on their quality as well as fit?

Cheers,
Richard

I installed the USA made set from Zip last year. fit was perfect. only thing you have to do is paint the inside part black - if you want to - as they come in all chrome.

The USA made one's use the original GM dies and should fit like original one's. Paragon Reproductions got the dies and made them. Paragon was sold to Zip and Corvette Central. Lou.
