I can only speak on my own experience with 69 Camaro NOS rear bumpers. I ordered one from a dealer BITD. The bumper came in and I get it unwrapped. WTH, all along the bottom outer exposed surface you could feel these weld bb’s. No sure why they would be on a bumper? So, I take it back and another was ordered. Same thing. More bb’s. I had them order a 3 rd. Same. Looking back, they probably just kept giving me the same bumper? I don’t recall if they were all wrapped in brown paper. By the 3rd one, I finally just had to relent and settle for this bumper. Parts manager told me they were all like that? Still have it, haven’t decided if I’ll used it. If I can find a Chrome plater that can do factory quality chroming, I’d like to go that route.
