Camaro rear bumper center bracket rivets

I haven't seen any repro bumpers of awhile, but unless they have improved, I'd stick with OEM. If the ones D & R has are restored originals, then that might be OK.

I compress the center bracket rivets on my Chevelles with an arbor press. Have a helper or two on hand and sacrifice a couple test rivets to get it right. Good Luck!

Most of the time the OEM's and the NOS bumpers need to be rechromed. Crazy money in my opinion.
