I have the fiberglass front and rear bumpers and the front has the opening for the air flow to the radiator. I think the chrome would look better and the rock chips on the fiberglas look like crap.

I was wondering if they made the front bumper with the opening in chrome as well, I wouldn't think the rear bumper would be any problem in finding.
The previous owner had the earlier style bumpers on a 75 body.

How much would something like that cost including a rear bumper?

I presume they would fit on just like the fiberglass ones I have?

Your car looks so good all black. Consider getting some early painted bumpers and have them painted to match the car. Then get the clear 3M rock guard material to put over the front for chip prevention.
