Come on !! I don't think it looks any worse than a 74-77 rear bumper.
Maybe better. Just my opinion.

:iagree: I was looking at that bumper because I thought it looked close to the 68 - 73 style rear. But that one sticks out too far for my taste.

I don't like it too much either, but I wouldn't call it hideous. I have an 82 bumper on my 77, it was already on there when I purchased the car, but it is my favourite on the 77s. Just my 2 cents.

Boy you guys are harsh. - Let me tell you though, I get more compliments for mine than any other feature on my car with the exception of the phantom gauges.
to each his own though, I didnt build it to please others - just me.
I did not get this at Vanacor BTW

Exactly :)
There's probably going to be some features on my car that some people will not like. So what, if I'm happy with it then it's fine. :thumbs:

I don't know If I like it or not. It deffinitly isn't hiddeos. It doesn't look that much different then the stock bumpers. But I deffinitly agree that we should all build them to the way we like it and not the way others like it.

The bumper looks much better in person. I love them and may get one for the Pace, if I keep it. BTW, what is a C44 bumber? :lolg:
