Aside from the quality, how's the prices?

BTW, shipping for all the above items is $59...no tax.

Thanks!

I have tried a couple of different bumpers. The onesmade form"Nordan" seems to be the best quality chrome. But thats just me.

NPD has Nordan bumpers as well. I think I priced everything out to $240 or so, if you get some other stuff you need to get the total over $300 then you get free shipping.

National Parts Depot. Their site is npdlink.com, you can build a mustang out of their catalog as long as you have a unibody.

Thanks bud, I'll look into it.

Anyone have an opinion on the bumper and grille I provided in my first post?

+1 on the Nordan Bumpers, All replacement bumpers Ive seen eventually rust. But keeping with the push for Nordan, there lifetime replacement. This is what I was told from CJ Pony. When I saw them at the swapmeet they said as long as there is a nordan sticker on the bumper they will replace it free of charge.

In my experience, the Scott Drake stuff has usually been pretty good quality. I got a repop grille from NPD that was not Scott Drake and the quality was less than overwhelming. That is a pretty good price for all the parts you are getting.

I got my bumpers from NPD. They are fine but far from OEM quality.

+1 on Scott Drake and Nordan.

I just replaced all chrome parts this year after my Stang was painted.The Nordan bumpers look great and the ScottDrake grill pieces fit perfectly. I had several issues with stuff from other manufacturers not fitting properly. I would double check with Laurel Mountain about the bumpers. Nordan is worth the extra money.
