It looks like I’ll be needing a new front bumper top because the fastening nuts are rusted solid to the studs that go into the rubber. I’m looking for feedback from those who have purchased reprops. I know figment was problematic in the past. Please let me know your experience.

Wonder if it'd be worth finding an NOS piece?

Someone on Facebook mentioned that the grain on AA's was a perfect match as well as the fit. |

Someone on Facebook mentioned that the grain on AA's was a perfect match as well as the fit. The last ones I saw it looked more like a plaster type of finish. The correct finish should be a light sand finish. He may have corrected them as it's been years since I've seen them. |
