Did you have to loosen the front and rear bumpers so the paint could flow into the seam between the bumper and the body?

Ebay - 1980 and 81 nose emblems are no longer carried by GM. What you are going to find is NOS held over my some dealership parts department now discovering that he has a gold mine in 80 and 81 nose emblems. One guy wanted $150.00 for his on Ebay, but I kept looking farther down the list and found another NOS for $45.00!
