The best fit can be gotten with solid fiberglass replacements. These will fit the best because you will have to mount them and do whatever bodywork is required to make them look good. If you don't want to mess with that, repro urethanes can be made to look OK if you're patient about fitting them, and your car still wears original, unhit panels.

American Custom Industries (ACI) is in your home town. I personally/professionally prefer the solid fiberglass bumpers...and NOT those true-flex fiberglass type. But that is my preference.

A lot will have a lot do with your skill level... because to make them fit right and perfect...does take some time. Before purchasing...there are some thing you may need to check/inspect.

Urethane will be much quicker...but you will still have the issues of waves in the bumper when completed.
