    Black rubber/plastic strip on front bumper?

    Finally had a chance to look at the 91 Reatta I bought in June.<BR> It needs a new front bumper guard/strip, black.<BR> Are these all the same color when new, must be painted? Are they available? How much?
    Reatta Brakes, Teves, except 1991, are excellent but somewhat complicated.

    <A HREF="http://www.partsgm.com" TARGET=_blank>www.partsgm.com</A> sell them. They come a neutral color & have to be painted, so I'm told. The paint on ours has flaked off in places. Not sure why. Not too unreasonably priced, if I remember correctly.

    I oredered a set (front and Back) in June and they were both then available. Delivered in HUGE boxes for about $150. each Canadian. Half that price must have been for the freight! They arrive in a Matte Gray color.<BR>It's necessary to remove the entire bumper assemblies to gain access to the fasteners. Pay attention to the location of various Factory Shims as you do the disassembly.<BR>When reassembling the new rub Strips care must be taken to not overtighten the keeper nuts otherwise the contour will be distorted.
