Do you mean the bumper fillers or the bumper rub strip? The fillers can be had from Replica Plastics but you will have to carefully pre fit them and then have them painted. It takes some modification to get them to fit right, on both the fillers and on the rear quarters. You may have to use a body hammer and work the lip of the rear quarters where the fender fillers mount to get it flat so they mount flush, but it is an area that is unseen once the fillers are mounted so if you are careful there shouldn't be a problem. The originals were flexible and didn't need the quarters to be completely flat in this area.
If you need the rub strip, I don't think anyone makes them so you have to find a good used or NOS part.
