Bumper - Front - Repro ~ 1967 - 1968 Mercury Cougar

Reproduction front bumper for the 67-68 Cougar. Constructed from steel and triple chrome plated via chromium-nickel electroplating for enhanced corrosion resistance, durability, and shine. Made to match the factory original in both looks and fitment.

Please know that chrome cracking from the installation of bumper bolts on these bumpers is not covered under warranty. We have observed that some reproduction wavy washers are of a thicker material than original and require more torque to flatten out properly for a good fit. We suggest that no matter what thickness your repro wavy washer is that you flatten them out in a vise prior to installation so as not to have to apply as much torque when installing. Better yet, reuse the originals whenever possible. 

* New State of the Art Chrome Plating Process is now being used!

The Quality Regulations used for plating these bumpers exceeds the GM4374 Guidelines. (Yes, we realize this is a FORD Bumper) For those that are aware of these requirements will also note that GM is much more strict than others including Japan, Britain & other USA plating requirements for automotive bumpers.
