This is a set of 1981-88 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 H/O front & rear bumper Trim. I'm sure your original chrome has faded out ,yellowed, peeled or cracked over
it's life time. When painting a car this will stick out and detract from all your hard work. This is an easy way to get that fresh new look again. The new chrome will fill in the bumper grooves a lot better then the GM units did. All parts use quality 3M adhesive un like a lot of others. So be careful when installing it will have to be pulled off with a lot of effort. When the pieces were available from GM back in the day they were over $240.00 from the dealership. Of course they have been long since discontinued. On our new pieces you can see the quality via the reflection.
Installation:
To install this trim strip, first, pull old trim off rubber bumper part. Then scrape off old adhesive from the bumper with narrow putty knife or a flat dull screw driver. A Plastic tool is preferred as not to damage the bumper cover. 3M Adhesive remover is available in a lot of local auto parts stores. Removing all the old adhesive will give the best results. Do it once & do it correctly for the best fitment & adhesion. Now you can take one piece of new trim & pull the red tape off the back of
trim. The blue coating removes off the face of trim a little bit, tuck one in at the beginning behind the rubber bumper part. This should be just enough to go in behind the rubber. An 1/8" inch is good. Then pull the red tape on off back of new trim as you go to push the trim flat up against the rubber bumper and go across to the other end and tuck it in at end. Pull the blue plastic coating off the outside of the chrome trim. Do the front and back bumper the same way. Make sure the new chrome trim is warm when you go to put it on and it will bend and lay flat better. If cold weather outside, a blow dryer helps to heat it up to make it soft and flexible.
NOTE: If your not 100% confident or sure this should be done by a professional.
*Your metal C trim clips will have to be re-used.
