The rear bumper, front bumper-ettes, and shifter handle cost just under $1000.

I have not heard anything good about any reproduction bumpers.
This is beside the point that I am just not a fan of the highly polished show chrome, the fact that the parts have been polished and buffed on so much it remove the sharp edges and character of the parts.
My opinion is the parts look like they are "puffy". Overinflated.

Feel the edges of an original bumper or even NOS bumper and then feel the edges of a repro or one which has "show chrome"
Sharp and crisp VS rolled over.
