72 convert to split bumper

[tb8125]

hey just a question i have a single bumper that i want to convert to a split bumper... is it as simple as just buying the split bumper and bolting it in place of the single bumper....

That's it, I just removed the full bumper and center support on my 73 and bolted on the small "bumperettes" I had to use a few washers to shim them on the inside so they sit straight. My only problem was with 72/73 is the egg crate grille, it has that center band that sits behind the bumper that has smaller openings...looks like crap in my opinion. I bought a 70/71 grille and added in a piece where the hood latch release sticks out. Painted black and you can't tell where the opening was.

ahhhhhhhhhhh BLASPHEMY!!!! sorry im an RS lover and its just wrong to go faux split. Sorry, just my opinion.

Guilty as charged, oh and :secret: don't tell anyone but my car's not a real Z either.

The split bumpers do bolt right up on a non-RS front clip. To me it is a huge improvement over the look of a one piece bumper.
