Rear sport bumper

Does anyone know if this bumper is of better quality than the LNG branded premium bumpers? It sounds like it's an actual general motors bumper. Let me know. If it's to be true I will buy today

Re: Rear sport bumper

NOS means New Old Stock, its the real deal.
I have an LMC rear bumper, the quality is good but if I had a choise I would get the NOS. And its $20 cheaper than LMC.

I used a rectangle piece of flat stock to bolt to the frame to the inner brackets
