Worst fitting bumper I have ever seen, 69 70 Mustang rear bumpers. Not sure on the 69 70 Shelbys.
69/70 Mustang and Shelby rear bumpers are the same.

Yes they are, but not sure of the fit around the endcap. Just thinking one or the other, (Mustang or Shelby) might fit different.
The Shelby end caps were designed around the stock bumper so the fit on the 69/70 Shelby has the same range of fit as on the regular Mustang . The same way as on the 67/68 Shelby.

It seems you have to get an NOS one or re chrome an original to get a good fit. Mine had 1977 date on the wrapper. It fits well.

Just curious are you expecting the bumper to be higher?

Its designed to have that gap.

The original bumper had about half this gap.

Related to this topic are there any good "full service" rechrome shops left?  By full service I mean will fix dings or fill holes.

We recently installed a reproduction rear bumper from NPD on the rear of a one owner 68 GT Coupe we are restorting and it fit nicely with no issues. We also installed a front bumper from Virginia Mustang without any issues. Both bumper appeared to be from the same vendor and had very nice chrome. (We temporarily went with repro parts due to a delay with our chromer)
