Hi, Its finally time to change out my rear filler panels on my 73 olds 98, I know i can buy the plastic repo ones but i thought i would at least try and see if anyone is sitting on some factory NOS ones. I know its a shot in the dark but i'm looking for them if anyone has a set of them.

Thanks in advance
Greg

 

Last bump for these!

Also has anyone bought the repo panels for a 1973 98 and have any sucess or failure stories?

Thanks
Greg

 

First comment: These fillers deteriorate over time even when they're not on the car. Yes, exposure to sunlight speeds up the degradation process, but anything NOS from 1973 will be 46 years old and probably at least somewhat deteriorated even though it had been sitting in a box on the shelf all that time.

Second comment: I don't have a '73 98, but I did buy aftermarket fender extensions for my '78 Toronado and had them put on and painted by my local body shop. I've been very happy with the result.

 

Yes that is a good point but I also heard there was fit issues with that repo ones. Yours looks great! Thanks for the input

 

Who did you hear this from? And now you have at least one data point showing that fitment is NOT an issue, at least when handled by a competent body shop.

And what would you rather have? New ones that might require a little tweaking to get them to fit right, or NOS ones that will fit perfectly and that will fall apart within a year of installation?

 

 

Where can I get the repo rear bumper filler panels

 

Here's one supplier.

https://ekbumperfillers.com/

Be aware that the replacement bumper fillers often require adjustment to fit perfectly. I also suggest searching our site to find the other suppliers.
