Looking for some front and rear bumper impact strip end cap pictures. I realize Plater Tom is working on a reproduction of it with talk of it in another thread. I just wanted to see what a original should look like on and off the car if possible.

not exactly sure what you are talking about. If you could give more info I might be able to help

Mine are still on my car. They are brittle and my car was garaged all its life. I will try to get pics. There is no way I am going to try to take them off. I already cracked one trying :mad:

They are plastic pieces that tapped into the ends of the bumper rubber on all 4 ends for a finished look.

Sean 74 they are a cap at the end of the bumper strips. It covers the hole at the end. Very very rare to have them on any big bumper camaro yet. They always dry rotted and fell off the car early in life. Jonesy please a picture on the car will do thanks Ron.

*subscribes

I'm curious what they look like too

There is a picture of an end cap on a bumper on the link below.

Thanks George. I did a search and did not find that thread on the end caps.;)

What year did they go from having the plastic caps to not having them at the ends of the rubber strips? I'm just curious.

Late 1976.

Damn these things are so brittle. I tried to pop one out and destroyed it. Just crumbled. They are definately plastic. I dont know if a complete one could be found to make some up. I wished now that I would have just left them alone.
the ones on the front are more protected so they seemed to be in the best shape. The ones in the back were beat. This car was never really outside alot in its life.

I got one off Platter T couple years back. I have say it was the most exact repro part I've ever bought for any car. Fit & Finish were 100% .

We only could wish more parts could turn out as good as his.

I might buy a spare . ;)

{Tom} Platter T and {Dave} silver75 are looking for a good original either to make more or finish what they started to make these end caps. If anyone has a loose end cap they can give up they will put it to good use to make these end caps.

I'm sure this can be filled with rubber Goop http://www.biosafe-inc.com/Automotive.htm

Ron have you contacted them already about making some? I would probably want a set if they do.

I too would be interested in a complete set. Thanks.

We should have 6 complete sets for sale in the very near future.

Dave

Dave putting my order in for a set when ready. Whats the going price for the set now?

Ill take a set also.

I would also buy a set of these.

I would also like to purchase a set of those please. Sean

I just looked at my rear bumper today and sure enough, I need a set too.

Let me know price/availability when they are done. No rush.

Some progress is being made on this project.

Some progress is being made on this project.



Good news! Keep us up to date on progress.

I'd go in for a set, too. The more we buy, the lower the price can be.

My manufacturer has not indicated that to me.

Maybe I'm wrong, but my guess would be that the manufacturer should be able to provide you with a discount if you purchase 1,000 sets than if you purchased only 10 sets, since amortization costs of the tooling would be quicker. Either way, I'm sure you'll have many buyers.

I just took some 1/4" plexiglass and made my own.Painted them satin black and they look really good.Glued them on with black weathertstrip adhesive.

That's exactly what I did, too. They look fine for now, but some repros of originals would look even better.

After a year of waiting, my manufacturer told me on Saturday that........he will be starting on them next week. :)

Awesome :bowtie:

Any idea on pricing? Getting tired of looking at the open ends on mine.

I am also still interested in a set

We are almost completed with the end caps. We need to put the back cuts on these and they will be completed.
