Question Custom chrome Bumpers for mustang II's?

Hello, I have a 1978 mustang II and was wondering if there were any chrome bumpers out there(ford or not) that would fit. I know the 1972 mustang bumpers are chrome and sleek looking. Was wondering if they would fit up length wise (so they wont stick out too far, or stick too far in). I could fabricate the 1972 mounts so it would bolt up. just wondering if there is a popular chrome bumper out there that mustang II enthusiast go with. Any help/suggestions appreciated.

Cheers,
Rob

I'm tinkering with the idea of an 81-82 fox-body Granada rear bumper for my II, they were chrome steel with plastic end caps. The Granada wasn't that much wider than a II, and I'm betting if I cut the bumper shorter to fit and slip the caps over the new ends I can get a clean look from it, but I haven't tried it yet. Hard part will be brackets to make it all fit.
