It has chrome surrounds around the headlights, not sure if it should? The hood front edge(has thin chrome edge) doesn't match the headlight surrounds? Did they come with chrome in these areas?
Be advised that the urethane front bumpers used on the '71 -'72 mach 1's are hard-to-find items. They are also difficult to repair when damaged or rusted out. I see lots of mach 1's on ebay and elsewhere that are sporting chrome front bumpers,chrome hood and fender trim, and chrome bumpers that have been painted to match the body. Either these guys can't find a good urethane bumper, or they dont know what belongs on the car. All mach-1's (71-73) came with color-keyed urethane bumpers, and color keyed fender and hood extensions. Boss 351 cars used the color-keyed hood and fender extensions in conjunction with a chrome front bumper.
