I'm guessing 78-9 up on the spirit/concords.Plastic end caps would be a tip off,so you can't really hide the fact if you have to that they're aluminum.
If Tom Goldman is reading this he will have the answer.

What type of ET car do you have? A buddy has a 78 Malibu that he installed the Fairmont bumpers on. The front looks pretty good, for fit, but the rear is a bit odd, as the Fairmont bumpers are flat top & bottom, and the license plate area of a 78-83 Malibu normally dip down into a recess in the factory rear bumper, so there is a fairly large gap between the tailights and the top of the bumper.
