Does any body have a decent one for sale, or know where I can obtain one?? The one on my car is not an original apparently, because I bought "Wing Tips" from Bob Drake and they would not fit unless I would grind the "lips," that aid in holding them on, off!

Let me get this straight... You think your bumper is not original because a repop Drake tip won't fit it without modification ????? Alan

That's right!! The bumper is a little wider than the Bob Drake wing tips.I would have to grind the bumper, or grind the two tabs, on each one, on the bottom, off to install them! Are they made wrong by Drake?, I would kind of doubt that with his reputation, but I could be wrong- I've been wrong before. I called a year or so ago, to ask someone about the problem,and you "might as well talk to the wall!"They are all in sales it seems, and no one in customer service could tell me anything, as I recall, so I returned them!! I just thought I'd ask on this forum to try to get some answers. Regards, Steve Lee

There was a discussion here or on the "BARN" about new vs re-pop wing tips (I used to wear those when I worked at IBM), with pictures, very informative. Paul in CT

Does your bumper have raised ribs on the inside?
