The Bumper Rub Strips were optional on every Model Astre sold. With the exeption of 1975 SJ's were they were standard. You could order the rub strips alone, or with an option package such as the exterior Bright Group, and they may have come with one of the other exterior option groups. The Bumpers are the same as the 74-77 Vega, so that may help your search. and the bumpers are different as the rub strip bumpers have many holes in them to mount the rubber.
I added a couple of pic's for comparision, the 1st my 78 Sunbird Wagon with the Strips (but with 76 Astre Grills)
the 2nd is my 77 Astre Formula with out the Strips
I do have an extra set of Bumpers with out the strips but they have many scratches and may need to be recromed. Good straight Cores. Let me know if you are interested. $100 plus shipping for just the bumpers, no Brackets, or mounting Leaf springs.
