Stay away from Bumper Boys. Their stuff is POS. Other people here will chime in and steer you to better place.

Chris.

I posted in your wanted parts post and mentioned the bumperboyz , AND that they 'restore" old war veterans and usually have one in stock. they are not show quality bumpers however the chrome is very good.
n There are a couple places, one in virginia, one in Ncarolina, and one in southern Mas that I know all do excellent work.
Youll need a good core.
Finding a NOS one would run 500+ probably IF you could find one.
Good cores are around, most will need sandblasting in back, some get thin when you do that and need repair, or are junked.
Cores show up on Ebay, also Frank may have one (frankspontiacparts.com)
he Is in Calif.
Texas trans ams might
also, Steve barrak may have one (hes a member here and has a bunch of stuff ) Start asking these guys and someone will know someone who has one

Give these guys a call. http://www.potomacclassic.com/ I haven't tried them yet but I have been told my Year One and Ames to call them for hard to find parts.
