As you can see in the picture, I'm missing the left rear bumper guard. I've looked in junkyards and I just can't find one. Also, while I'm here... what is the best way to take care of the fading paint?

once the clearcoat goes, it's gone until new paint is put on it. There isn't really much you can do with those late 80s-early 90s clearcoat peel issues.

Since the paint is fucked already you can try wetsanding with 800-1000 with a soft rubber block and re-clear it. If you fuck up it doesnt matter because it looked bad already.~David~

Not sure if they're the same, but I have a set of those from a '88-'91 vic. There's some in the junkyard by me too. If you want to change it, I believe that you have to pull the bumper off of the car, separate the chrome from the support, then you can access the bumper guard.Originally posted by SofaKingFast View PostAs you can see in the picture, I'm missing the left rear bumper guard.

Thanks for the offer 86VickyLX, but the guards are different on CVs and GMs of the same years. I just found one off a '90 GM in a junkyard here. I guess I just had to wait to find one.1989 Mercury Grand Marquis GS- "Sarah" 122k miles
