Front Bumper, Ames Performance Has Two Options, Good Quality and Excellent Quality
I was about to order a front and rear bumper today, but the "Excellent Quality Front Bumper", part B199V is out of stock. I called Ames to find out when this part would be available and the guy who answered said "No idea". Usually, they have some idea of when an out-of-stock-part will arrive.
So my other front bumper option is part B199VA and this part is titled "Good Quality Front Bumper" on page 95 of the G37 catalog. I would like to hear opinions and feedback from anyone who has bought either bumper.

I can't speak to the quality of the bumpers, but I imagine that there may be in this case 2 people making these bumpers at the most. Check this out, AMD has a pretty good reputation for fit and quality. https://www.autometaldirect.com/amd-...t-p-18854.html

I bought AMD front and rear bumpers too
The chrome is excellent. It took about 5 hours to fit and align both bumpers They were close but needed to be tweaked with shims and chain bar Honestly I think any repro bumper you buy will need to be tweaked . I was more concerned about the chrome finish and very pleased |

Due to the world shipping issues, many things seem to be out with no time idea for replacements.

I'm in the same boat with some items, and probably more that I don't yet know about.

My front and rear bumpers arrived today. I bought them from National Parts Depot because they have a warehouse within a few hours of my home, that's why I bought them from NPD. Regrettably, though, they didn't have the attaching hardware such as bolts with a chrome heads. So I bought these from Ames. I think the finish looks really good.

It was years ago when I removed the old rusty bumpers. I certainly can't remember what bolts go where. Can anyone provide instructions or a diagram of what bolts go where?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
