Name this Firebird part

What the heck is the real name of the black things that are like small bumper pads on the front and back of the firebirds? Where can I get new ones?

Mine have white crap that I cant get off, so I want some new ones

Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers? The white crap your refering to is probably car wax. I've got it off mine with floor wax remover and an old tooth brush. Shoot it with some armor all when your done and they should look like new!

I figured it was car wax, but couldnt get it off! I only use Zaino so its not from me

Ill give that a shot, I use "Back to Black" on them from Mothers

If shoe polish wouldnt come off I would try that, lol

Guess what you can still buy all but the rear pass side. But most places call them bumper inserts, but yea it turns white if you get wax on them, its hard to get off ive done it before waxing in a hurry.
