When it’s time to replace your worn out or torn out front bumper fillers for your Buick Grand National, Turbo T, or Regal T-type, there’s a few choices available as far as replacements.
Stock OEM (expensive, hard to find), the many fiberglass reproductions created (cheaper, but some don’t fit well), or the well known unit (made in the USA) by Spoolfool Productions (seems a bit pricey, however, fit is excellent & it’s basically a bolt on & your done item, no mods needed).
The latter is the one we opted for, especially since it has top quality fit & finish (better than the OEM factory fillers) and no painting is required for it (well, assuming that your car is black)!
