Is it my imagination, or is the Front bumperette/bumper guards longer on the front than on the back for the ‘74 cars?

You can always run the Bumperettes from a 75 on the early bumpers for a cleaner look.

Yup.....It's what I've done, except, be aware the mounting holes are vertical on the 75-76 bumpers, 73-74 front bumperettes are horizonal . meaning drilling extra holes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) it's ok on my front bumper, it was previously was in some form of accident with the original bumperette . slightly dinged up, the 75-76's bumperette from 75-76 Cali, REAR bumper covered pretty good.  |

Without a vertical overhead view, it appears the rear bumperettes mounted on the front don't have much extension to provide desirable protection? I value the length of the original front "tits' on my 73 that have prevented a potentially damaging bump or 2 in practice, although I did have to replace one that was damaged.
