    Larry would you buy one, test fit it on your car, and give us a report?

    From Taiwan. Personally, I'd rather find a good core and have it rechromed. But it's good to know repops are now available.

    If TPP wants to send me a set for free, I will be happy to install them on my car for long term testing

    The Taiwan repop bumper that came on a parts truck that I bought had more rust on the back side than my stock factory bumper.

    I've put a few "Jing Chang" bumpers on cars when they were missing or bent. They look fine from the outside, but the chrome has been thin around the carriage bolts on a couple and the cut lines are usually squared off and crude looking. To an average Schmo (see what I did there, Joe?) they'd look fine, but I wouldn't put one on something I was trying to make look really nice.
