Default Re: Aftermarket bumpers and Mirror Location 68 Camaro

I double check this bumper last night the RH side is bent in, I can measure from the mounting holes to R tip and to the L tip and the RH side is tweaked you can see it just sitting there, As far as returning it I will find out, I sent the retailer a email with pictures with no response I will call them today anything short of them willing to send me a shipping tag Ill just call AMD direct. Summit is starting to sell more item in the restoration field I really need to stick with them on items like this, for another car I ordered a trunk lid it came in with shipping damage I called the tech line at Summit they just sent another told me to keep the first one and had it the next day, and the Firestones came from Summit best price I could find and fast shipping... Ill keep posted on the bumper, in the mean time I still need RH mirror location if anyone has it.

Thanks

You'll be waiting for a while. No 1st gen came with a pass side mirror from the factory.

Never knew that but I have only had a couple first gens and no expert by any means, the car did have one before but if they didn't come with one I will not put one back on, Thanks

You could get one installed at a dealer. Some states require it.

Was this by chance an OER bumper?

I normally do not bash a vendor, but I purchased this AMD bumper from Tamraz I have spent thousands there, I just spend 1400.00 that will be the last they will ever get from me, just wasted 20 min on hold and I have also emailed with pictures to get no answer at all, they just told me to hold on again and then transferred me to voice mail....

That's flat out not good. I was just checking to see if it was something from the company I work for. If it was I wanted to try and help. Not that I am denying you assistance either way. I am going to be working on a similar situation so I will be mindful of my results
