I got mine from Mike's Bump and Grind. He had the cheapest price.

Re: Good place to buy a bumper?

Check out Top Banana, theyre a vendor here. If you have a 68 they have a gorgeous smooth bumper. Either way check them out.

Who told you all of Top Bananas stuff was made in the U.S.? I think you are mistaken.

Re: Good place to buy a bumper?

I thought I had read that somewhere here but cant find it anywhere on their site maybe it was just the smoothie bumper, either way their bumper looks gorgeous.

Re: Good place to buy a bumper?

I'm pretty sure there was a loooong discussion on this site about one of their bumpers being made in China. Some folks were concerned about trading with the enemies of America, some justified it.

To each his own, but it just seems wrong to strap Chinese crap on American iron, in my jingoistic opinion.

Re: Good place to buy a bumper?

If it's just a plain painted bumper that's needed, I'd recommend a junkyard or swap meet and then a repaint. Then you can worry a bit less about your dollars raining back down on you in the form of bullets and nukes at some future date....

I agree, I try and get products made in north america, but sometimes thats not always an option.
