I'll probably keep the rubbers then. And you're saying that the rubber strip is going to be missing where the guards are? If that's the case, I might be able to use some of the strip from the guards to fill that gap then. Right BR?

Default Not the same rubber size....

...but you could use some to fill the gap then bondo to get it right, paint and you are done I suppose. Why not keep the guards nice and sell them on e-bay, easily worth $50 a pair.

That is one cool Enforcer!!! I would love to drive a car like that everyday, minus the roof lights and door stickers only. I'd keep the black/white paint, dual spots and push bars. On the subject at hand, I like bumper guards, I have them on my car, but if it didn't; I'd be putting them on. David

Thumbs up 74 to 77 are fine.....

....those didn't go beyond the top of the bumper and cover half the grille. I even think they were standard equipment but they looked nice, understated yet functional.

The CanAm bumper guards aren't as tall as the 73s.

BillyGoat,

Do you know the GM parts numbers for the guards (front & rear) that fit on a Can Am?

This is the results I got from an OLE' BASTARD on a lawn tractor!!


After trying effortlessly to find a replacement for it I pretty much gave up on it, then
BR57 offered me a deal on the rear guards an 2 rub stripes that I couldn't pass up, Ray you the man , hopefully one of these fine days I'll get that stripe changed.
