based on my color scheme, I think a black bumper may be better than a chrome bumper. But, they didn't offer endura bumper in '68. I will not be putting on a front spoiler either (yeah, hard to believe). What is the least I can get away with and still be street-legal? do I need a bumper?

do I need a bumper?

Legally... probably.

I still can't get into the bumperless look just yet.

Check the laws in your state. I know in some states you don't need a rear bumper. In fact alot of small pickup trucks don't come with one as standard equipment. You have to pay extra to get one. Another option would be to have a stock bumper powdercoated black or the same color as your car.

What about stripping the chrome off and painting the bumper? I have seen Foose do that.

How about 'Black Chrome' :thumbsup:
I've had a little of it done.
It has a unique look and holds up better than paint.
You want to avoid overexposure to sun and excess heat for best life - somewhat the same as chrome. Not a problem for most collector and show cars.
Needs to be cleaned and waxed regularly (like paint) to provide the best life.

black chrome would look cool. I'll check that out. thanx
