I think the seal used was ghia as they have seal similar. I got them from BFY, try them. Its was a few year s ago, but try. Title: Re: Bumper guard molding...?

A bunch of DKP guys use them on their cars. Neat touch.

CIP1 has the Flat 4 rubber strips on the gaurd http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=C38%2DBD%2D160 Title: Re: Bumper guard molding...? Post by: deano on October 17, 2010, 04:23:08 am It has always been my opinion that the aftermarket (read overseas mfg), came up with using these seals to fudge the gaps between the guards and the blades. That if your guards and your bumpers match properly, you don't need them. When I look at a sedan, and I see those rubber moldings, I know right then and there, the guy used cheap thin bumpers.... Just my 2 cents worth...
Title: Re: Bumper guard molding...? Post by: Shubee2 (DSK) on October 17, 2010, 04:48:50 am LOL Deano if they were using Cheap Bumpers and Guards it would take more then that small strip to fill the gap I saw car in a Show not long ago that had used that slip on plastic door edge molding now that for sure was a Hot Vw's Canadate LMAO ;D ;D
Title: Re: Bumper guard molding...? Post by: Kaferdog on October 17, 2010, 07:20:43 am Deano I agree ....!...I know I have seen some nasty fitting guards,,!,,,I just like the accent it gives when using bumper guard rubbers also !....I think the little touches sometimes make a difference..!
Guys thanks again for the help ...!! |
