I took this pic at the 2001 All GM show in Carlisle, PA. Are those vertical bumper things available aftermarket? I might want to black my rear out like that.

Hard to tell from the pic, but they might be 69 bumperettes. On a 69, the bottom bolts into a weld nut in the tail panel. Looks like the driver side is not bolted. You could get a used bumperette and grind it to fit, and then have it rechromed. I have a beat up one that I can send you to mess with if you are interested.

Yes they are the bumperetts, 67-69 had them as an option.

You need a bigger trunk light. Do you control that with the Clapper ?

They are also called bumper guards. Try Classic, Ricks, or Year One. They are in catalogs. I think that the blacked out rear panel come with the "SS" package. Rhat

Thanks guys, I know the common black out came on the Big Block cars, but that was the first black out i've seen where it went all the way down. I think it looks good, but only with those bumper extensions.

if you are looking to pick up those rear bumperettes take a look at these ebay auctions. the last two links, i think they need to put down the crack pipe. no way would i spend 275.00 on a set.

Those are bumper-ettes, not bumper guards, and standard on all 67's and 69's. No 68's had them.
