I was extremely pleased with the final result of installing this chrome finished bumper trim on my repainted '85 4-4-2. I found the installation to be relatively easy, the pieces were cut slightly longer than required. On the uninstalled front bumper cover, I took the long strips and measured to find the exact center point, marked it on scotch tape on the front side, and cut the backing tape and peeled it away from the center point on each side far enough to grasp. The trim was adhered at the midpoint (peak of the front bumper cover) and worked toward the bumper corner peeling the backing tape and smoothing the trim to the cover as I progressed. Then I fed the backing tape into the hole in the bumper cover channel by the holes for the side marker lamp mounting. Next I fed the trim end through the hole after rounding the corner and continued peeling until the trim was fully adhered. I clipped the backing tape once it passed the edge of the hole, then trimmed the excess trim so it would sit fully inside the bumper cover when installed on the car. Then the same procedure was repeated for the other side of the first trim strip, and again fully for the second front bumper chrome trim strip. After fully installing the front strips, the scotch tape in the middle was peeled off. The install process is similar for the rear bumper cover. With it uninstalled, the stainless C-shaped escutcheons near the license pocket need to be removed by bending back the tabs that jut through to the back of the cover. The adhesive chrome strips top and bottom are retained by the stainless escutcheons and by them poking through the holes in the channel ends by the rear marker lamp mountings. NOTE: The lower channels on the rear bumper require more length based on the design of the bumper cover, if the rear strips are different lengths, use the longer ones in the lower channels first. Reinstall the stainless escutcheons again prior to reinstalling the bumper cover. These pieces look just like the factory pieces did on my new 1988 Cutlass Supreme Classic. I recommend them to all who need them.
