    whats a "chin"? you mean the valence ?

    90 bucks does sound pretty reasonable for a small bumper

    sounds cheap to me. small bumpers usually sell for that w/o brackets, and a good front valence will bring $100 by itself

    It's easier cause there's only 4 bolts located inside of the trunk against the tail light panel.

    yea i was thinking about buying it and trailering it home the problem is its like way in the back behind a bunch of cars so i cant just pull it out its easier to maybe give him a few bucks here and there i might be able to even get them free if it was up to me i would pull that thing out and bring it home.

    73's still use the 70-72 back bumper, just diffrent mounts but the front bumper doesnt look as nice IMO. its still big and sticks out too far, just not as bad as 74-77's. i wouldnt waste my time swapping to a 73 front bumper. i'd hold out and save up for the 70-72 stuff

    heres a 73

    and heres the 70-72
