Anyone buy the AMD bumpers for their '68-'69 Coronet? How close to the original are they? Did they fit well? Finish quality?

High probability.....Are the AMD bumpers Taiwan sourced? My Road Runner has bumpers stamped only with "TAIWAN", and although they are approaching 9 years old and look acceptable, you can tell the chrome is very thin.
My recommendation would be a re-chrome of the originals.
Absolutely.....they do all my bumpers....They are finishing the rear bumper to my X....Anyone have recent experience with this company?

I had them restore my Coronet and Duster bumpers in the 1980s. Don't remember the price, but the quality was Rolls Royce level.
Back in the 1980s you had only two choices for MOPAR bumpers; junk yard, or rechrome. My Coronet front bumper had some minor rash and pitting, and the rear bumper had a small ding. Tri City restored to like new. My Duster just needed rechrome on the front bumper. I lived in Louisville, KY and Cincinnati, OH at that time, and just drove the bumpers down and visited friends.Absolutely.....they do all my bumpers....They are finishing the rear bumper to my X....
Top notch and stand behind their work 100%
I don't disagree.....it depends on what one has and can afford......but I would wait till you couldBack in the 1980s you had only two choices for MOPAR bumpers; junk yard, or rechrome.

I think knowing Jim's high standards he should go with Tri City rather than Taiwan sourced bumpers.
The bumpers themselves were nice. It was the rear mounting brackets that sucked. I will be removing them this winter and modifying the brackets. Front brackets were fine.I remember reading that jason79 had issues with his bumpers, thought they were new AMD....something about a gap difference??
EXACTLY. Good description. That is what my 'Taiwan' bumpers look like and at certain angles it is really noticeable.like faint brush strokes under the chrome
check out bumper boys out of CA. they are at carlisle all the time and you cant beat the price good quality im sure the work is done in mexico due to their location
