Either shipped to SoCal or I pick them up locally. Who has bought bumpers lately and who had the best price. THIS IS NOT WANTED ADD. I seriuosly want to find out where. I need a set of repops or originals that are very nice. It doesn't matter but they need to be shiny as they're going on a black car. I already have a set of original ones on the other 69 but they're not nice enough for a black car (BBblondie's car) so they'll be staying on that car. I'd just send the originals out for a re-chrome but then I'd still have to get another set for the 69 that's missing them. So I figure I'll just buy fresh ones for BBblondies car and be done with it.

Thanks, Lance

Check Ebay, there are a couple places out there in CA with good prices. If one is close enough you won't have to pay shipping either.

Thanks Hank,

So far it looks like Tamraz has the best deal with the shipping.

I bought bumpers from CPU Muscle Car Parts a couple months back and I'm very pleased with them. www.cpucarparts.com They're out of Illinois, but ship anywhere.

I've heard of the ones you're talking about and the quality hasn't been the best. Good luck!

Try True Connections in Riverside. I ordered some for a 70' Elky a couple months ago and they were gorgeous. Great price too. They were the first repop bumpers I've ever installed that were pretty much stress free (for me). The guy who owns the place is the guy who writes the "ChevelleTech Talk" column in Super Chevy Magazine. I've used these guys for 12 or 13 orders now and have no complaints. No-I don't work there, nor do I know anyone who works there-just want to spread the word that they're batting a thousand with me:) and that's been rare with parts suppliers. true-connections.com 800-600-4144

Lance, have you actually gone there? Being in northern cal I've done all my business with them over the telephone, but always wanted to go there. Is it a big place? He's never once been out of stock on something I needed.

Nope never been there. I also always order over the phone. Although I need alot of big parts so we're going to drive down there and save the shipping and get a hood, bumpers, inner fender wells, interior, rear tailpanel, etc. Big dollar weekend on that one :eek: and I'll report back.... They also have used parts (they're catalog calls them previously installed parts:D ).
