I have two good front bumpers... Pretty sure the one on the left is a rechromed OEM and other is a replacement one but curious to know for sure.  Can you tell from the shape of the ends?

That would be my guess too Rob. The aftermarket bumpers tend to have less forming on the end - probably an inferior tooling job.

Yep, the one on the left is OEM, right cheapee aftermarket. I'd put the OEM one on, those repops do not always fit so well.

From what i've been able to gather it's actually the other way around.  A couple of folks on the MGE site compared to a known MOSS & a known OE.  Left matched the MOSS & right matched the OE.
