since we are on the subject, I have a really mint GM bumper that is ever so slightly tweaked...anyone have any luck repairing them ? </div></div>

My experience was the opposite. Perhaps there is more than one repop out there.
I compared a repop bumper side by side with a real one. Not much difference. The inner brackets that came with the OER bumper however, make it virtually impossible to install. IIRC, the outers were OK.
An acquaintance told me he installed a repop bumper with original brackets, and it fit much better.

Heartbeat Jimmy does sell some nice repop brackets. I have a set of brackets (not for sale) as well as a pair of crappy repop brackets that I modified to match the contour of the originals.

One more thing: if you get an OER brand, it will have a boat load of silicone or some kind of slimy substance on it, and you will spend a LOT of time wiping it down with degreaser just to make sure paint sticks.
