they are made of unobtainium so they are hard to find. Years ago, Mid America made fiberglass replacements. I dont know if they are still available.

Hey Barilebug, which bumper u have? The square type like on a 69 bug or the blade type on the 65 bug? If it's the square type call Savich's @ 610-259-2567, he has a used 1 For Sale, don't know how much tho. He also mentioned that it's the same as the T-3 bumpers! So if someone has a T-3 front bumper u can buy it!

Three good coats of Rustoleum Ultra-Gloss-2 and Push-MePull-ya will look like a beauty.
