    My front bumper guard looks like the attached picture.
    I think the previous owner may have hit a pole or something.
    The rest of the car looks pretty good, but that one bumper guard makes it look bad.
    What should i do to fix it?

    If the chrome under the guard is still good, you could remove the guards and use more bumper bolts to cover the holes.

    Probably going to do this to the front bumper on Comet.

    I did this to my 73 (below). But he has a deluxe bumper with trim. If you do that, it will leave a gap in the trim. I would take the bumper guard off and see what you need to do to get it tight. You could use some generic peel-n-stick black trim to replaced the missing trim on the guard itself. It wouldn't look factory, but would look better than nothing. You could also look for another bumper guard. Post a message here, I'm sure someone has one.
    Also, :Welcome: to the boards.

    Buy a bumperguard from someone on here that has removed large bumper for smaller one.
