I changed the rear bumper on my wagon and the fillers fell apart . They were cracked. I was wondering if any body had some to sell or where i could get replacements , but Not the fiberglass ones. I want the somewhat flexable ones. Thanks a lot. bill 1-270-726-7665. about 30 miles west of bowling green kentucky. Have a great day.

Bill,
First off, welcome to the site. The urethane rear bumper fillers are NLA. You'll have to find them used from either a Malibu or Pontiac Lemans/ Bonneville wagon. The Cutlass/ Century wagon fillers are different.
The fiberglass fillers are the only type that I know of that are being reproduced.

I would suggest posting a want ad on Malibu racing and possibly on Malibu Thunder besides any other G-body sites...G-Body Central, etc.

You can get fiberglass ones from Dixie Monte Carlo or ABS plastic ones from OPGI..

I would get the plastic ones from OPG.. but either would work

The ABS plastic one warp from the sun. I have already been down that road with my wagon.
I am just going to get a rear roll pan for it and be done with it.

It's good to know that the rear fillers are reproduced. However, they're not cheap. I may end up cutting and sectioning my bumpers for the tucked in look. Still haven't fully decided yet.

Roll pans are gay.

Brian (dirtywhiteboy) did an awesome job sectioning and tucking his bumpers.

I prefer the stock look myself. With a little patience, good fillers can be had...

Honestly, I never liked those rollpans. They look like a cheesy after thought.( no offense guys) Yeah, I agree with you Blake. Brian did do an awesome job on his bumpers. They're alot of work, but I would like to find an old bumper to experiment with before i slice mine.
This way if I didn't like the way it looked afterward, I can go back to stock. Although, I'd still have to collapse the energy absorbers. It does look good when done properly.
....or I may end up keeping it stock.
