1986 Rear Bumper

[John D.]

Help. I am in need of a rear bumper (urethane) for an 1986 coupe. Anyone know a source? GM has discontinued the part.

Also anyone have experience with "factory replacement" rear bumpers, made by Troy Tooling Division of Tech Star. They claim to have the orginal tooling and use the original materials? My concern is with fit of the bumper to the car.

Thanks

I am looking for a new bumper rather than a used one, but thanks for the information on the boneyard.

Has anyone had experience with Eklers reproduction urethane bumpers. Any comments on fit?

Re: 1986 Rear Bumper -Addenda

I'd avoid an 18-year-old used cover - the RIM urethane used in that era ages very badly, and becomes very delicate/weak with time. Would be a shame to prep/paint it, install it, and have it disintegrate soon after.
