I put an AMD front bumper on my 69 Nova, and it looks very good. Since then, I found a GM bumper, and had it re-chromed. I can't see any difference between the AMD bumper, and the GM bumper except the repro might be slightly lighter. You can see it in my signature picture below.

I don't know who makes a specific repro front bumper, but there is one where the outside edge does not line up properly. It should be in line with the eyebrow molding as it angles down the fender. This repro bumper is angled differently, and makes the bumper look like it's falling off....

Like this one on Benjamin's Nova:



Should look like this one:



You can spot the repro a mile away, and it is incredibly annoying....
