I'm looking for some bumper filler panels for my 1977 cutlass. Before I go and purchase them new from thepartsplaceinc.com, I wanted to see if anyone had them used or knows of a cheaper way to get them. They are on the parts place website at:
http://www.thepartsplaceinc.com/ocat...&YearList=1976

I need the filler panels that go on either side of the license plate (actually I only need the right one, but if I have to, I'll buy both). These are listed at $179 on thepartsplaceinc.com.
I also need the small rear side bumper filler panels that fit in between the rear quarter panels and the bumper. There is one on each side and they are rectangular (listed at $69 on thepartsplaceinc.com)

Any tips/advice is appreciated.
Thanks.

I'll check Pick and Pull first thing in the morning. I saw a 77 Cutlass in there last week. I can't promises anything though, it's getting picked over pretty good. But I'll check.

I should have a spare set on my parts car. If I can pull them off, give me 20 bucks plus freight or postage an you can have them

Went and looked, I have them but they are rotten. Sorry

1970cs - Thanks, I definately like their prices better than some of the other ones. If I can't find the filler panels used, I'll go with those.

Olds442redberet - Awesome, I'd appreciate any tips...

Just realized I probably should have posted in the parts wanted section... Oh, well.

Just as I figured, the car has been picked over pretty good.

Oh, well. Thanks for looking anyway. I'm suprised the rear bumper on that thing is still there. Does the 442 have a different bumper than the other '77 models cause the bumper on my 442 looks different than the one in your pic? I'll probably just buy the thing from replica-plastics.com Thanks all.

I don't know enough about these cars to be able to answer your question.

4 doors had a different bumper and fillers in 76-77 from the rest of the 76-77 Cutlass and 442s.
I've used Replica plastics parts on a 78 Cadillac Seville, fiberglass and pretty fragile. I had to send a 76 Cutlass middle filler back that I got from them because it had spider web cracks in the gelcoat. They weren't real bad but a new part shouldn't have ANY cracks. I ended up buying a centerfiller, rear quarter fills and the rear quarter panel gravel guards from Autobody Fillers USA. http://www.autobodyfillersusa.com/se...bile%3ACutlass They are ABS plastic. I like the rear quarter fills because you can use the factory steel support behind them just like the originals. It does not look like they offer the two rear fillers that go from the center filler to the rear quarter fillers.
I believe I've got a Replica Plastics center filler that I would be willing to sell. It is new, never installed. It's the one they sent me to replace the cracked one I returned.

I don't think I have a full set, but believe I've got some of them. I'll look this weekend if you'd like. I may need you to identify if the ones I have are for the front or back bumper though!

texxas - I ordered the replica-plastic one's before I got your post:/ but I'll be quick to return them if they don't look right.
2blu442 - Thanks, for the offer. If replica-plastic doesn't work out I'll message you.

I received the replica-plastic filler panel and it appears to be the correct shape/size. Although I will use this item, I probably will not order from Replica-Plastics again because the plastic material they use is very brittle and weak. I'm praying it doesn't crack before I get it one the car
