I thought OEM, but how would I tell? Thickness?

So no comments on oval-ling the bumper mount holes in the chassis to accommodate the bolt alignment issue?

My question about the source of the rubber strips is about if they have the correct dimensions. If the rear panel of you car is original, then a stock bumper and rubber strip should fit without modifying the mounting holes.

The rubber top of the bumper is aftermkt. The dogbones are original. The bumper itself is original. The center to center distance of the dogbones, the thredded captured nuts in the bumper, and the holes in the rear of the car are all the same measurement. The problem is that the current orientation (placement) of the holes in the chassis, means the lip on the top of the bumper interferes with the ledge under the lights. If those four chassis holes were lowered by 3/8ths of an inch, all would line up. Or if I removed the lip on the top of the bumper...all would line up. I think the path of least resistance (as the bumper has been nicely re-chromed)...would be to "oval" the chassis holes to move them effectively lower so the bumper lip clears the ledge.

Here is the ledge, the existing holes and the need to lower (oval) the holes so that the bumper fits under the ledge.

I solved the bumper issue. Installed the springs and rear lid solo...it was challenging.
And yes there was blood, sirens and children crying. Moving along. Getting that "total filespace required " error when trying to download iphone pics again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
