Oh, so now we are "Chrome bumpered" cars when you want our vote. Hmmm, too political, should have a 73 option to vote on. We will take on the rest of the years combined! ;)

Re: Chrome vs. plastic (63Banshee)
Ummm, is the question, Who has chrome .vs. plastic? or Who like chrome and who likes plastic?
I have plastic, and I don't have a problem with it. I like chrome too. I guess the thing for me is that I like the shape of the chrome bumper tails better than the shape of the plastic (rubber). At least mine anyway, I don't really like the quick drop off as much as the little lift of the chrome cars.
Maybe that's why I like the looks of the aftermarket rubber/fiberglass rear bumpers.
