I just installed some of GT-Racing's set of bumpers. The front was the unit with no oil cooler cut out. I was backdating a '75 model to the early look so I was missing whatever mounted the old bumpers -- brackets, "dogbones", and holes.
One of the fiber versions I got from them had no provisions for mounting...either front or back...I can't remember. The other piece had little fiberglass bracket places that were too tall -- at least according to the body shop. I'm not totally pleased with their rigged mounting solutions but it was hard to argue since the fiberglass versions came with very little.
I also ordered new fog light grilles from Pelican. They were the plastic/unpainted versions and they required some extensive grinding and shaving to fit inside the fiberglass version's cutouts.
When I went to pick the car up, the body shop had mistakenly shot the bumpers body color. It really updated the cars look...like some kind of Acura. But I just couldn't deal with it so I had them reshoot them black. I also had the top part (the section that would have been rubber) shot with a rough texture finish. I did the valence, rockers and front spoiler the same way and I'm really impressed at how cool that looks.
