I'm going to order repros for my '66 in a week or two. Either from Virginia Mustang or Mustangs Unlimited. About $90 for the bumper & $30 for the bumper guards (and probably $20 to $30 for shipping).
Mine are slightly pitted & rusty on the outside & look like something off a rusty ship wreck on the inside.
I'll post here when I get them & let you know what quality they are & if they fit OK.

I think when dealing with parts if you find a company that continuously supplies you with quality then you are safe to trust them. I have been dealing with laural mountain mustang and they always have good deals and good products. Here are some of there products:

Like I said they have always given me great products, so i can't see why these would be any different. I would think if they are rusted pretty bad it would be the choice Idea to go with new ones and start with rust prevention instead of rust removal.

Update:
I bought a front bumper & both bumper guards from Mustangs Unlimited last week. They look great & price was very good.
I installed them & they fit fine. All mounting holes lined up &I had no problems.
I will post a picture or two in the next couple of days.

I bought a replacement for my rear and it didn't fit at all. The angle on the ends was off by over an inch andit looked like crap. I bought it from a well known national company. I ended up returning it and getting one from Maryland Mustang. They were both imports but the one from Md Mustang fitfine and looks great.

My suggestion is get a new one form a reputable company, then measure it to compare it to the original. On thefloor all shiny and me all happy I didn't see the differance in my first one until I installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled it again.
