Default What is the difference here?

Ecklers has two front bumpers for 68 - 72
Part#'s 44425 and A8143
The 44425 is stated as "Reproduction" and is more expensive.
What's the difference? :skep:

.......pretty sure it has something to do with the quality of the fibreglass, or that the Reproductions are hand formed or made the way they were in the factory.....anyway, it's a quality thing and it's explained somewhere in the Ecklers catalog........ :cheers:

I wasn't referring to the fiberglass bumpers. They are the chrome bumper part numbers.

Could be the part numbers are 68-69 and 70-72. The 70-72 will not fit the 68-69, unless some modifications are made to the bumper brackets.
