I think someone on here used 1st Gen Camaro bumpers. I saw a picture--didn't look bad.

I think options are limited but the split bumper camaros do work and look nice, I think VanGo has those on his, and you can pick em at a junkyard or buy repop ones

I'm planning on '73 Camaro splits on the back and '69 Camaro rear bumper on the front. But I'm waiting to see a 68 around and actually measure it b/c I'd rather use the 68, it's narrower and doesn't have the lisence plate notch out the '69 has, but I've been told they are to narrow by others.
The Camaro rear bumpers are cheap to(the split, not so much), if you can fab the brackets it's alot cheaper than finding a good bumper and having it chromed or even just having the one you've got chromed.

I'm planning on fitting the Camaro split ones to the front and back of mine. I just wish i could get them in this country, the postage is very expensive...!!
