    this is the bumper swap i did and yes its a maverick........i did this out of boredom but i thinks it looks quite good....when the car is repainted black in the spring the bumper will be the same color as the car.

    As hard as those are to find, I bet you can find a Comet owner with a Maverick bumper who'd swap with you in a second.
