Default Front Bumper

I have a 70 Nova and I know I should of thought about this before I painted the car but is there any other front bumper I can use on my car with little modifications being done besides the bulky stock bumper?

I never thought about that. I wonder if I can find someone to photoshop that for me. But if I painted the bumpers wouldn't I have to paint all the trim around the windows too?

I'm struggling with the same problem. Not sure what to do. Would be killer to find someone to mold in some sheet metal and not run bumpers at all. Easier said than done. I think painting them would be the best/cheapest way out. Post some pics when you get the bumpers done.

Well either way I had to buy new bumpers b/c both were bent up pretty good. So I ordered new chrome bumpers last night and a new grill. Once it all comes in and everything gets put together I will determine if I'm going to stay with the chrome or get other bumpers and paint them.
