I may be a little confused by the terminology used, but the "hoop" used on 427 street cars is one size only if it is made as an oem replacement. Butler Racing used to make them for restoration. Same with the rear.

What I thnk are being called bumpers are actually called "over riders" and are chrome plated steel just as the front and rear "hoops" are.

If you want them to look right, don't use stainless and don't buy the ones that look "pointy" where they connect to the over riders.

Look in my gallery. Those are OEM replacement pieces and are correct shape and size.
