Delta 88 bumper interchange question
Just a simple but obscure question. I believe that the rear bumper bar (chrome steel part) for a 1986-89 Delta 88 is the same as the one for 1990-91, except that the 1990-91 has two extra holes for mounting the larger bumper cover used on the later models. Does anyone know for sure if this is true?
Thanks,

Yes I believe they are the same because I had to replace my front bumper on my 91 olds 88 royale after a fender bender, with a chrome one off an 1986 olds 88. However I was unable to use the extended bumper cover on mine because it was too damaged, but I like having both front and rear bumpers chrome now.

By the way, your Olds looks identical to mine, except mine is a '90. Same color and trim.

Hey Andrew, I know how hard it is to find parts for the 90-91 Olds 88'*. The bumper cover for the rear should be the same as the previous year models, and as for the bumper molding that the 90-91 models have, you may be able to reuse that piece as long as its not severely damaged. When I had to replace my front bumper I was able to reuse the molding once I got it off of the damaged bumper and its actually very flexible, but I had to use a bumper cover off of an 87 Olds 88, and I had to paint it so it would match the rest of my car. Here are before and after photos I took when I replaced my bumper. Let me know if you need any tips or anything.
