Bumpers-are they interchangeable Options

[gaspump]

I'l looking around at some cars and I like the chrome front and rear bumpers, around 70-73 ??. How hard, or can it be done, to put chrome bumpers on a 74-5-6's. And does it make sence to do so, except I like it. Thanks

I was going to ask a different question about bumpers. What's the easiest way to remove the bumper guards? I don't like how they look. Should I just replace the whole bumper?

Well, they just unscrew from the inside, so just take off the bumper and remove them. My bumpers are black and I simply covered the holes from the bumper guards with some black Gorilla brand duct tape. I used a circular punch (about 1/2" to 3/4" ..... don't remember the diameter off hand) to make the "caps", so to speak. If you have chrome bumpers, I'd imagine you could use bright aluminum foil duct tape to do the same thing. Mine lasted on my car over a year and were still plenty strong when I finally decided to go back to stock and put the bumpers guards back on.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that you supposedly can get chrome buttons from the hardware store to cover the holes, but I've never looked for them.
