There were some spots covered with grime that left a stain even after I cleaned it. It appears as if they just threw the bumper into a warehouse and let it sit gathering all kinds of crap.

I personally would not purchase from them again.
Well I am sure if you contacted NTO they would be happy to help. Also, the scratch remover and swirl-x really won't help with anything, much less a really messed up paint job.

You're going for a GT/CS conversion and using a GT bumper?
Yeah that makes sense...

Replacing the front bumper is not difficult at all. Very rewarding mod

I bought mine off of eBay factory painted. The people were great to work with and the bumper looks great. It has 3 small nicks, but it shipped fast, was packaged great, and the people were really nice. The color matches great with mine too.

I was really nervous about doing the install, but it is super easy. Everyone on here is great about answering questions too.

Took mine off for the supercharger install. Really simple and easy.......just big. Having a buddy to help move it is good.

Yeah, on the sixer you need to convert to a GT front before you can convert to a CS. Does anyone have any info on the Late Model Resto CS conversion kit. Think I'm going to order it...
