Question Bumper Fillers

Has anyone used bumper fillers from Steele Rubber Products on their wagons? My car's rear fillers are bad, so since I need to have a quarter panel fixed I thought I would replace the rear fillers while it was being done.
I know Steeles fillers are ABS plastic and don't flex like the factory fillers, but I suppose that won't matter a long as I don't get rear-ended. LOL

If there are any other companies that make these parts please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

I see them on ebay all the time. They're all ABS, and I suspect they are all made by the same company, so shop for best price. The rear fillers for the 77-90 cars are the the same for all the B-body wagons, so look for Caprice as well as Custom Cruiser. They aren't cheap at ~$180 a set for the rears.

Or you can do what I am doing and tuck the bumpers in closer to the body to fill that opening.

That was my plan for the back as well. I actually have a good set of front fillers.

Even if you find a good used set at the junkyard, they'll crack in a year.
I'm on my 3rd set. Stock ones are just plain old and fragile.
