Here’s the final product. Since the original post I installed new seats, a new rear composite spring and polished the wheels. The paint doesn’t match 100 percent, but it was to be expected. The urethane bumper slightly contorted when I bolted it back on. Maybe I over tightened the bolts on the bumper?

A few years back I found a company that made a DESIGN for a front bumper cover that got rid of the bumperettes and the metal front plate cover and opened up the center of the front bumper all as one piece. I opened up a thread on here somewhere trying to get enough people interested to get the company to make a run of them (I think they wanted only like 10 people to pre-order.) -I think I only found 2 other people willing to sign up so it never happened...
