Without getting to the 'which is better' debate...
The last bumpers (79-80) are entirely black, and don't have
a nice chrome bumper underneath. With the earlier bumpers, you
can just take of the rear over-riders, and you have a nice
thin chrome bumper with a couple of bolt holes in it.
For the front, you will want something to cover the bonnet hinges.
(over-riders from a 73, perhaps.)
I have neither on my car, and it looks ok, IMHO.
Switching a 79/80 to the earlier bumper style (73-78) should not
be very difficult.
