to each his own.I perfer to keep things as they came from the factory. Funny how bumpers were similar between different mfgs during different eras.60's through72 were chrome followed the countour of the grille,74-79 flat, big, 80's aluminum with plastic end caps,90's - present plastic, body colored.I think the big bumpers look fine on a Pinto.They stuck out because of the 5 mph regulation.I dont want to mess with history.
