It's amazing how consistent those things go bad.  I remember years ago putting gas in my GN, looked down and noticed a crack on the rear filler.

Within 6 weeks the other three cracked and the RR had a second one.

I've never had a filler go bad and I drove my 85 T-Type in the winter.  It seems the hot climates kill them.  And for that reason I am staying in the cold! :)

MY car had a repaint at around year 4 . Between that and being under a cover or roof 6 months a year they seem to be holding well. The ones on the Arizona car are toast.Maybe I can find white duct tape...

Same ones on my car from when I purchased it 15 years ago...still mint. Doubtful they're original from 87. Car had a repaint when I purchased it...likely changed then.

I don't believe they made repro 15 years ago. But I don't know.

It looks like heat is the killer. I'm honestly saying 'wow' that y'alls are still going strong.
Save the bumper fillers!
Move to Canadia!

The guy I bought it from had a high end used car dealership in Niagara Falls. Maybe he bought NOS at the repaint.

I know for a fact that the fillers on both my cars are original.  When the cars aren't out on the street they stay in the garage so that probably helps.

My car has stayed indoors most of its life. Only has about 70,000 km's on it...maybe they are original.
