Eliminate bumper fascia
I just bought a 99 Monte C and I want to get rid of the bumper fascia (the piece with the peeling chrome) but there are holes in the bumper that it mounts to. I saw a different type of 5th gen. bumper that did not have this piece. Is it possible to swap out the bumper cover with one that does not have this fascia?

You can remove it, but the bumper underneath will look like ****.

Thanks for the confirm on the bumper cover. I will be on the look out for one.

Cheapest option would be sand and paint. Keep in mind - the strip of fake chrome on your LS bumper is gunmetalish on Z34 bumpers.

Maybe you could sand the peeling chrome off an paint it flat black or some other color..
Any recommendations on what to use to fill the holes on the bumper? |

The entire piece is cracked and brittle. If I remove it to repaint it will probably break. I will probably end up removing it and filling in the holes and repainting the bumper. I also am removing the front license holder so will need to fill those holes as well.
