Default Endura Bumper ?

Any special advice from those of you who have experience dealing with an endura bumper. (69 Camaro) I just bought a car with a rough original endura bumper, haven't seen the bumper yet so don't know if it is restorable. Here are my questions.

How good are the repro endura bumpers? Who makes the best repro or do they all come from the same source? Is it possible to get a NOS endura, or is the price too astronomical? Is there a kit or a process to restore the original bumper? thanks in advance

The repops are just ok but the problem is in the repop brackets which causes the bumper to stick out like a standard bumper. I think Heartbeat City has made some brackets that look close to the originals and it might do the trick to tuck that bumper where it needs to be but I haven't seen them up close to tell. Good luck, Mark

I haven't had a chance to go thru everything that came with the car. It may have the original brackets, I am hoping so. Endura bumper is new ground for me and I will be on a tight schedule to get this car done so just trying to anticipate problem areas.

It looks like someone caught the end when backing up. Bent from the end to the inner bracket maybe an inch or 2
