Last Friday, the person parked next to me clipped my bumper when pulling out, so now I need new trim pieces.
Any suggestions? I've done some preliminary searching and haven't found much. I figure I'll probably just have to keep an eye on Ebay but wanted to ask here first.

in this process, I will likely be getting the clips to hold that trim in place 3D printed (see below) - if anyone wants the file once we have a final design, let me know.

good luck to you. Those were hard to find back in the early 90's ( pre internet mind you)

Thanks. I'm sure I'm going to need it! I've only been looking for 4 days now, and there's absolutely nothing out there.
 
I finally put a temporary fix in place that (I think) turned out pretty good. My buddy made final adjustments on the clips and they work great. I then used a small amount of JB Weld "Steel Stik" to form the correct curve of the trim. So far it's holding to the chrome as well, but if it starts to come loose I may have to secure it with some adhesive at the crease/split where they were cut from the other car.
What do you think??
