The Hall bumpers (which several vendors sell) fit terribly because the mold 
literally shrank a few years after it was made--yet they kept on cranking 
them out.   They are about an inch narrower than the originals as a result.

Rick Moseley had a Wilkinson 'carbon fiber' bumper which fit perfectly 
laterally, but it needed some trimming on the back edge in order for the hood to 
be able to be opened.

I've never seen an aftermarket bumper that fit as perfectly as the 
originals--although I freely admit that there may be some out there that fit so 
perfectly that I don't know they're aftermarket! :>)
