Default Tru-Flex Bumper (Front)

Anybody have any experience with the Tru-Flex bumpers - good or bad? I had a little accident in the garage this past weekend... Here's the bumper in Ebay:

I have them front and rear on my '74, installed by the previous owner. The quality seems very good, they do have some flex to them.

I put one on the front of my '77. It was a pretty nice fit for just bolting it on and making a few minor adjustments. I'll have it fit much better when I go to repaint it. The quality seems to be very good with the one that I got.

I bought one for the nose of my 81. It took some work to get it to fit right, but I honestly think that has as much to do with the design of the 81 front bumper as it does the quality of the product. That's not going to be an easy fit. Especially if the car's ever had any body work done in that area. The older style bumpers seem to fit up pretty easily.
