    I waited patiently for more than 6 months to find an NOS bumper for the Mav,
    finally finding one on E-bay and "Sniping " it in the last 5 seconds of bidding( I have no shame):D 230..00 bucks with shipping. It's how amazing something 30 years old can look so good. Don't know what something like this sells for normally but it was a good deal to me.

    Definately looks better than the painted one. You can get your old one straightened and rechromed for around $125 to $175. I had a front & rear done for $325 at TriCity Plating.

    I can understand your "wanting it bad". Don't feel guilty about that-I'm not so sure I would have let it go because a fellow board member was bidding on it! See; nice guys do finish first some times. Enjoy your new bumper Riporter, with my blessing. Sincerely, John B.
