You won't believe how many times they sold that same grill. They don't make money selling the make money on restock. internet sales is flat-out hit & miss..... Go to the store you open the box examine.
I wonder how much lighter they will be. I got a Chinese bumper for my 97 GMC truck and it was noticeably lighter,,,,and yes it's rusting already..... It was $90 with free shipping and included spoiler/lip.
I will ask about these. I know they have a few items " in the works". I work with aftermarket parts every day and with that knowledge I plan to only stock/ sell what I feel is decent. For anyone reading this that doesn't already know, I am now stocking "The Parts Place" products so if you need or want a new outlet for there parts I may be able to help as well as save you some money! I will also give you my honest opinion of there products that I'm familiar with. They have a lot of decent products but do very little advertising of there Buick stuff. I plan to market there stuff better so you guys will know what's available. A lot of it has already been added to my website. A lot more products coming soon!!
Todd, I will soon be buying a headliner,weather strip kit,and a complete body bushing kit with accessories. I am looking at these offered by Original Parts Group. How do these compare to what The Parts Place is offering quality wise and cost ? These are to be used on a 72 Stage1.
OPG and The Parts Place sell a lot of the same items but for some reason OPG is usually a tad higher in price. Check pricing before you purchase, I bet you can save some $$$ I'm not sure what brand headliners they sell. I can get the Legendary brand if you want some prices. .
From what I've been told TPP is reproducing the 1970 Bumpers. They are not ready yet but in the works. These are not originals that are just getting re-chromed - but actually reproducing them. 1970 for starters. Maybe we'll see other years if these are a hit. That's all I know for now.
Todd- any idea on how far out they are for general sale? I have a set to rechrome but will wait if soon enough...
Let's see what Todd thinks of the bumper, then go from there. My front bumper is decent, but I would buy this one if it is a good quality part.
Hi Todd, Do you have all 70 emblems for a stage1: grill, GS fender, Stage1 fender, trunk lid? Does the stage1 have wide pins? gary
I should have most of those emblems in stock, what ever I don't have I can get in a 2 days. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks! Todd

That might be worth it depending on the quality of the chrome. I paid over 500.00 for my rear bumper at Tri City including shipping back to me. That was some years ago. My front bumper is pretty decent but has a couple of small dents (from the bumper jack). Not sure I want to be the guinea pig.
If someone gets one let us know how the quality is. I don't plan to stock these because of the size but I can have them drop shipped if someone wanted to purchase through me rather than with them directly. I won't endorse them or sell them though if the quality is poor. I don't need disappointed customers!!
Have these ever materialized? Their catalogue still list them, but no description and no reviews, which makes me think no bumpers. It's a cruel joke to us Buick faithful to dangle such a shiny carrot!!
Last year 2018 Tri City charged me $750 to re-chrome my 69 front bumper that was without shipping so if it fits and the chrome holds up I would not complain. My real gripe is a new 70 Chevelle bumper is $229 from Summit...
