No one knows?? I think this part came out last year and there was a lot of talk about it. Its the endura nose for a '69 GTO. I'm just trying to figure out if it was discontinued or not.

I'm pretty sure it's still around Jimmy. I used to see them on eBay all the time. From what I recall reading about them, they were ok but just like a good used one, you'll very likely have fitment issues that will require some bending, etc.
Just in case you can't find one though...Here's a pretty good looking used one- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1968-...QQcmdZViewItem

I've got one that I never used. If you are interested in it, I'll give you a deal on it. Before I had a chance to use it, I came across a mint original, so I went with that. I haven't tried to fit it up to a car, so I can't comment on how good or bad the fit is. Ames claims that the quality is so poor that they won't carry it until it improves.

Thanks for the replies. I couldn't find it in PY's catalog so I wasn't sure. I did see one on ebay finally so I knew they were still available. I thought I'd get tons of comments on quality. I may start another post to see if I can get more feedback. I thought initial opinions were good when it came out. My original is bent and I think it can be saved because the bend isn't too bad but I have no idea who could straighten it out. So I planned to keep it but get a re-pop for the time being. BLKBIRD, what kind of deal can you make me?? I'd have to have it shipped to South Carolina. Thanks...

I know I'm a little late but here it is, part #RPF211. Here's the note under the part number as far as quality: Emblem holes for the 68 car will have to be drilled! Looks nice but requires prep work to make ready for painting. Several imperfections that could be explained as gouges will need to be smoothed and sanded. Most of the entire bumper surface is rough to the touch and will require sanding. Total of 4 hours of total prep to ready for paint. This bumper only weighs 41lbs! So it is not true endura rubber but more like a flexible plastic. shipping $85
