    I don't know, being that I know what it should look like, kinda makes me think the car has hit something, and the bumper got pushed in...with the sides being so long, it's kinda outta proportion..:huh:

    I agree.. I think a half tuck would be the look if I had a Mav..

    being it's a one year bumper...doesn't look out of place to me...
    not like a painted bumper, where it was too rusted to chrome...:yup:
    also when I see a nice car on a trailer...my first thought, it's broke...:cry:

    I like the tucked 73 bumpers better than the 72 and earlier small bumpers (although I would never replace a small one with a bigger one) and I'm not really a big bumper fan.:thumbs2:

    I had a 73 in the late 80's, early 90's and it would've looked great like that.

    So thats a 73 bumper? If so what do you do to tuck it.
    I think it looks a lot better than sticking out like a park bench. Like mine.

    That one looks like it's been struck. The driver side pic looks a little straighter.. not completly straight. The whole thing seems tilted too.
