Title: Front Bumper Fillers
Post by: Just a Six? on April 25 2021, 11:59:53 AM: While pulling the engine I first removed the bumper & my still decent looking front bumper fillers pretty much disintegrated when I bumped into them a couple times. So I've been looking at the options from Kirban, Danko, G Body Parts, Rock Auto, Hiway Stars & Mikes Monte's popped up as well. Seems they are all the same with almost the exact the same claims of close to original chemical makeup, last GM molds & no pitting etc. etc. Only Rock Auto are different & sell Goodmark but the rest are all the same & from $120-$140 except of course Kirbans are $160+ so before I order some has anyone made a purchase lately & their thoughts on them? I'm sure that they all need 4-5 hours with a good body shop but I'm not real fussy on them as the car needs a paint job at this point but it's just not in the near future for me so as long as they fit half decent I'm good with them. Thanks :cheers:

He can also paint to match .
Easy Peasy- one stop shopping 👍
The best part is he’s local

Chris, Parts Source, direct from LQK in Brampton etc. Goodmark is on Deb's car

Mike from Spoolfool sent me an email & his stuff does look really good but the closest supplier is in Kentucky for shipping. I'd rather go local so I'll see what I can arrange. :cheers:

I mean I am a painter & I can get any paint put into a rattle can at the store I deal with so that's probably the way I'm going.
