Installing 1969 Front Bumper Guards on my Malibu Convertible. Does anyone have a photo or template for guard placement and hole drilling?

Many thanks & Merry Christmas!

Here's a couple of pics from a car I have on file. Hope they help.

Confirm the ebay picture if they are 69 front bumper guards. Thanks

The '68 bumpers have a rib across them that isn't on the '69s. They don't interchange. Ask me how I know. If I recall correctly, the bottoms bolt into existing holes in the bottom edges of the bumper and there is a bolt and clamp holding the top in.

Can you tell from the ebay picture if those are 69's? They have a hole in bottom to bolt on to the bumper and the top has a clamp & bolt set up.

The ones in the picture/ebay are not for 1969, maybe 68 though.
No hole drilling required for 1969 fronts, you do have to drill for the rears on 69.

If you are using a repop bumper, front or back, bumper guards will not fit flush against the bumper. You would have to grind the hell out of the guards to match the bumper cross section, then have rechromed.
