Hi there guys, quick question for you all. Just bought a set of wrap around for both the front and back bumpers but they come with no bolts. Anyone have any idea where I can buy some and what size they are. Currently I have four straight single guards on each bumper so I don't think I'll have any bolts once I remove two from each bumper. Thanks again in advance.

Hi Bruce, I believe that's right. The way I read it is he had FOUR bumper guards on both the front AND back bumpers. Bet that looked weird.

Chef-chevy, yes the wing tips are what I got. If you look closely at my picture you can see how it looks now.

Nice score on the front bumper guard....your wing tip has a clamping system which tightens around the end of the bumper...Are you missing those nuts and bolts??? a larger pic of your car ![[Linked Image from i563.photobucket.com]](http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss79/chefchevy/Fleetline%20Gallery/48%20fleet.jpg)

So just got them in today and did not know about the clamp on each of them, they are intact just needing the bolt to hold it to the bumper.

The reason I mentioned this is when I got mine many years back the bolt on the clamping system was badly stripped and the only way I could remove it was to cut it off...I had to kind of rebuild them, for fit,prior to plating

This is why I had such a problem removing the bolt ![[Linked Image from i563.photobucket.com]](http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss79/chefchevy/Bumper%20Guard/Bumper%20wing%20Tip.jpg)
