I bought some from that place for my '74 Malibu, about 5 years ago. They fit OK, and at least they aren't the rubber type like originals.

I am still looking for rear bumper fillers for my 74. Can I have some more opinions on aftermarket repros, please?

Thanks,

Bret

How about E & K bumper fillers? They are ABS and guaranteed not to rot or crack. How do they fit? You can also find them under Sandknit Industries.

Has anyone purchased the 76/77 rear center bumper filler from Replica Plastics? It looks like the correct one but its hard to tell by the pictures.

The right and left rear fillers for the 76/77 don't look correct from the pictures but that could be the pictures.

I just need a base to start with so if they are a decent fit, that will work for me and I will work them until they fit how I want them.

My original one is fine. I need a fiberglass one.

I just got a set of the replica plastics, they are fiberglass and have little give. The mounting holes don't match up and the bumper has to be removed to mount. I ended up taking mine to get painted and letting the shop install them. I don't have the patience and didn't want to mess up the parts.

REPLICA PLASTICS
Ordered the 3 piece set of rear bumper fillers for a 76 chevelle/malibu.
269.00 shipped. Took over 2 months to get them. A total disappointment , I can`t believe they would even ship this cr**. I can make the center piece work with some trimming but the left and right pieces are useless.

Unfortunately, this seems to be an ongoing problem over the years with Replica Plastics. Apparently, they still haven't gotten it right.

I think I've got a good pair of corner rear bumper fillers on this 76 I dragged home a couple years back. I'll take some close up pics this weekend for you if you're interested.

Thank you g3chevy, I am interested in the fillers. Please post pictures when you get a chance.

I could use a little help with trying to fit the center filler to the tail light bezel panel piece. I need to trim the fiberglass piece to fit the blue metal retainer. I disassembled the car about 15 years ago and didn`t realize it would be this long before I could reassemble. I didn`t have a phone with a camera back then but I did try to bag every thing ( Label not so much ). Can someone tell me what fasteners I need to bolt the two together (10 pcs) ?

Thank you for any help.
