Ok i forget exactly what they're called, but you know the two chrome pieces that extend from the front bumper and over the front valence - there is one on each side of the license plate - Well was my car supposed to have them? It's a 68 XR-7. Thanks - Chad

bumper guards??

Heck, I dunno.

Yeah bumper guards sounds right. Here is a picture so everyone knows what i mean. Every 68 XR-7 I've seen has had them, but for some odd reason mine does not. Thanks all - Chad

Chrome thingies...

....Ummmmm, how 'bout 'whiskers' being they're on a Cougar. Yeah, valence whiskers. I like that.

'Bumper-bumpers'? Now why would bumpers need guards. Guards from hits from little old ladies that shouldn't be driving anymore? You need these things when you 'park by the braille method'? That's what they're for! Sheesh

HAHA that's great. I guess I'll just get them and slap them up there, I'm presuming that the mustang ones will fit? Thanks all - Chad

It seems I saw recently in a magazine that these were referred to as "Bumperettes" (?sp)

Yeah, they are called "bumper guards" and National Parts Depot have them (Mustang) at about $15 each. I nearly got a pair for my 67, but I went the rechrome route instead.
