Bumper cover trim

Hi everybody!

I've got my 87 Firebird with front and rear bumper cover's rubber moldings off. How are they called correctly? Bumper cover guides, moldings, bumperettes?

I can't find them nowhere! Probably you will help me and tell where they can be bought new or used. Need to be shipped to Europe.

Thanks in advance.

I need this.
Couldn't find it on Ebay 'cause i don't know correct name of this part, I've found entire bumper covers only.

They come off for sure, there are mounting bolts from the inner side of bumper cover.

Re: Bumper cover trim

They are attached with screws on te inside of the cover. They are called "bumperettes" or rub strips. You can repair broken ones if you can't find replacements.

Unfortunately, previous owner throw them off and made awful hand-made ground effects... I've restored bumper cover to it's original shape and the only things left to have original look are bumperettes.

But, they are not available on sale, I will look for somebody in US to find it on junkyards.
