Urethane Front Bumpers
The front bumper on my 75 needs replacing. Has anyone had any experience with the Ecklers urethane replacement bumpers. They are half the price of the GM bumpers. Are they half the quality?

Re: Urethane Front Bumpers (28buick)
I have just bought an Eckler's front and rear bumper for my '74, which are being painted now. I loosely installed the rear several times to "line it up" and on that one the fit is superb. Have'nt done the front yet, but most times these are the ones that need work bcause of the curvature of the sides and especially on the '75-'79 where it has that area at the nose that IS NOT straight across like a '73/'74.

Paul, are you saying that urethane front/rear bumpers are now available? With the split in the rear?

I like to keep this car as original as possible, but I refuse to pay that kind of money to begin with for a bumper to do that :(
