Can anyone please refresh my memory and tell me what to look for in NOS exterior moldings like any distinguishing marks and what should the inside of the bumpers finish wise look like. Are the bumpers stamped with any numbers? Thanks (67 SS)

With the exception of a few pieces like 70 Chevelle grille moldings, there are typically no marks or numbers that can be used to identify genuine GM moldings. I'm guessing that if you laid NOS and repro side by side you'd notice some differences in appearance due to manufacturing.
No numbers on the GM bumpers either, so I don't have any suggestions for you there, other than the repro bumpers tend to be noticeably lighter.
