    I like it or rather those tucks it looks a little sturdier than the 71 & 72 bumpers although I'm sure they'd fold & twist all the same when Slamed into.

    I still don't think it looks natural from the side like the white/orange '73 Grabber above. It's to close to the marker lights to me.

    Not if they left the inner support inside the front bumper, it's heavier than the bumper itself.
