[DeTomaso] Aftermarket Bumperettes - Anybody Used the Harrington?

[Doug]

Hall might not be sourcing them from Harrington.
Harrington lists the material as stainless steel while Hall lists their as steel.
Given the desirability of stainless steel over plain steel, I doubt Hall missed the opportunity to list the feature.
Sounds like a call or email to Hall is in order.

Julian,

Yes, THESE bumpers would work perfectly. I confess I didn’t look at Mike’s link, which was stupid of me. I thought Harrington was making stock-style bumperettes that incorporated turn signals.

Assuming their current offering is as pictured, that is exactly what Mike needs. My apologies!

It’s possible Hall et al are actually marketing these in the USA. Their price may be a fair bit less than buying from the UK?
