Default Removed rear bumper cover.

I had a chance today to remove the rear bumper cover on my 1980. Tomorrow I'm going to attempt to install the new one.

It actually turned out better then I was expecting. Not a 100% perfect but it is 99% perfect.
I'm very happy with it. Thanks again Denis.

Thanks.
I bought it from a forum member and was told it was made by Toledo Pro.
It's a flex fit. I'm not sure if he bought it from Eckler's Corvette or not but he said they sell them.

Nice job Kenny...I hope I can get my project bumper to match up that well.
Glad it worked out for you.
Yes it was made by Toledo Pro years ago. I believe they got bought out.
Eckler's and Willcox both used to carry their stuff.
Good tolerances and great quality.
