OPGI Front Endura Bumper Is On My 1969 GTO, Pics and Details Inside
Since I couldn't find any info on this topic and can't read the OPGI reviews, I figured I'd help someone make a more detailed decision than I had the chance too.
I will try not to add too much of my opinion, but I'm satisfied with the outcome. If curious, if you do the paint blending you're looking around $5-$6k total and around $4k without at experienced, high quality restoration shop out here in IL. I purchased this from OPGI for $1000 shipped (no discount and you're paying around $190 shipping). https://www.opgi.com/Products/bumper...o-g240103.html I went to Custom Classics in Island Lake in IL and they had literally just done a GTO Judge so they had a great back to back on going this route or fixing the stock. My stock bumper has a dent and cracks galore with chipping. The OPGI bumper appeared to be of good quality and fit. They only needed to trim a little off it and add a little crown at the middle hump of it. I'm not a gap expert but the side gaps looked better than before and the middle hood gap seems a tad bigger now. They blended the hood and fenders and it's looking great again. While I don't have any info or pics of how it's holding up 8 years later, the shop seemed to think it's going to hold up better than the factory even after a ton of prep on it. If curious, I kept the factory bumper and will swap in new front headlight and grille pieces, the factory look faded now that the bumper pops.
