I just removed the lower plastic portion of the bumper, in the middle. The end caps look hideous hanging down on the sides. I have searched but can't locate end caps with a lower profile. Does anyone have a suggestion of where to find some or any other thoughts?

You cut them along the bend at the bottom with a razor knife

 

or angle grinder or multifunction tool or sawzall or bite them or tell your kids to practice cutting along guided lines for school whichever you prefer

 

dremel....preferably with that special wheel that prevents build up of melted wax.

 

...take em off, cut, fine sand, clean and forever black them. they'll look like new.

 

Except for the deep gouches in them from off-roading.

I did away with mine.

 

yeah i haven't had mine on in the front in awhile. you need to do a new bumper to be respectable IMO.

but the pieces from mine hang nicely in the studio ready for reassembly. couple taxi cab gouges but no fallen oaks.

 

I want to tour that studio, sounds like an interesting exhibit!

A vintage 56 Caddy Eldorado or a nice Studebaker front grill and massive bumper would look cool on a Disco IMHO.

 

Angle grinder. If you go fast enough the plastic won't melt. If it does melt a bit it you can just clean up the edge with a piece of sandpaper. Takes about 5 minutes for both sides.

 

Thanks for all of the replies!
