Ok, so I posted this same q on moparts and no responses. Wanted to know if anyone knows of a high quality set of repop bumper guards for a 70 RR/GTX? These are the metal-cored rubber strips that wrap around the bumper, and also afix the bumper afix to the bumper brackets. FYI I received a repop set already that was drop shipped from Dale's Cuda shop, and they were awful - wavy, and didn't fit the contour of the bumper. Worst case is I'll throw on my old ones until something better comes along. Thanks in advance.
 
I just had seen them on the Metro Molded Parts website this morning $190. I do not know where Dale Purchased them from but you may try Metro. Let me know how you make out since I will need them for my RR convertible in a few months. Would they not straighten out if bolted up? good luck!!
 
Thanks for the info. You know how the lower half of the bumper is indented and the guard should match that? Well, on the repop's, that contour did not match, and as a result, there was a gap there. Add to it, one of the studs was caked with leftover rubber from the mold, which would've required scraping that all out had I kept them. I'll see what Metro has and will keep ya posted!
 
Just to close the loop on this, Metro's are different than I was received from Dale's and of higher quality. While not perfect, I can at least live with them, and I was glad to see the box marked 'Made in USA' on it!

These can be found a bit cheaper by going to MegaParts, which is where I got my set!
