Bumper Filler Pieces

[Electra_Wagon]

Hi. I have a 1990 Buick Wagon and need the filler pieces that go behind the bumpers. I can't seem to find a place. Someone emailed me a while ago about this and I have misplaced the information. It was a great place that was reasonable in price. If anyone knows, give me a head's up. Thanks.

I think you were probably referred to Replica Plastics.

The front items will probably be the same for the wagons and sedans, but the rear items for the wagon will most probably be different than the sedans. Be sure to make sure to tell them you have a wagon for the rear items.

There are also some places that do fiberglass replacements too, rather than the rubberized items. The f/glass items should last longer unless the rubberized items are "fresh" and of better and more modern materials than the originals were made from.

To paint the rubberized items, it'll take some specialized paint mixed to your vehicle. Used to be that you got acrylic lacquer and then added a flex agent, other wise the first time the filler flexed, the paint would crack off of it. Probably will need a specialized primer and surface prep too.

If they mix a "factory pack" color, it'll be what the paint was like when it was new, not what it's "aged" to now. Getting it hand-matched might be the best option, but sometimes you get lucky.

Just some thoughts,

Hey thanks for all the help. I love this car. I want to make it how it was when it was new. My mom was the original owner and I have had it for a few years now. It just needs a few cosmetic things done to it to make it great.
