Long shot, I know as these are rare as it is but have also been scooped up by Crown Vic owners.

Looking for a a black bumper cover in usable condition, certainly doesn't have to be perfect. New replacements are $600 plus paint.

Mine had a hole punched in it by a trailer hitch. I am located in Central New York State.

OEM new replacements are long gone. Did you save the piece? Any reputable body shop can plastic weld it back together.

Sorry I mean an aftermarket new replacement, not a Ford one.

The hole kind of just folded the material in, but there is a very small chunk that disappeared. Not sure it's repairable.

IIRC Summit racing sold new aftermarket front bumpers.

The rear bumper is irreplaceable because MARAUDER.

Some of it is there, not all of it.

Body shop can patch holes and use flexible filler to repair and sand before paint on plastic bumpers.

My friend fixed a big gouge/split in my 97 Tbird front bumper cover where I hit a catalytic converter in the road on way home from work 2am.

Piece in a donor piece with plastic weld, cover remaining imperfections with flexible body filler, sand, spot painted, used a special spray that "melted" the old clear around the repair together with the new clear on patched area and when done could not tell it was damaged.

I would get this fixed before going the aftermarket route. Any good body shop can fix that hole.

Yeah I guess that’s the plan. I’d rather repair the hole than use an aftermarket part.
