For my 75 I got the front from Ecklers and the rear from ACI. Both good pieces and both fiberglass as opposed to tru flex.

I have true flex on mine and the fiberglass is thin. I wish I had bought regular fiberglass.

Have an Ecklers front and a True Flex rear tuck tail.

Both excellent products..

I just replaced front and rear on my 75. Bought the True Flex units from Willcox--they were great to work with! Only problem was how the front bumper was shipped with zero packing material. First one was received with severe damage to the end of the bumper. Willcox immediately sent a replacement. Second one received again with no packaging, and was damaged at the same end. Since I was all set to do the project, I decided to repair it myself. I believe their bumpers ship direct from Toledo Fiberglass, so Willcox does not control the packaging. Either way, Willcox stood behind the issue. Can't ask for more.
