Product Description:
This new reproduction front bumper-cover mounting bracket set is designed for compatible 1998-2002 Chevrolet Camaro models. The package contains both position-specific brackets required for the driver and passenger sides of the front bumper cover.
The brackets mount between the front fenders and bumper cover, helping support the flexible fascia and maintain its alignment with the adjoining body panels. They replace bent, cracked, damaged or missing originals while helping restore a secure bumper-cover fit and more consistent front-end panel gaps.

- One driver-side front bumper-cover mounting bracket
- One passenger-side front bumper-cover mounting bracket
- Position-specific left- and right-side configurations
- Factory-style profiles for the 1998-2002 Camaro front end
- New reproduction construction
The front bumper cover, impact absorber, reinforcement, front fenders and surrounding body components are not included.
Complete Left- and Right-Side Pair
This set services both outer sides of the Camaro front bumper cover. The driver-side bracket installs on the left-hand or LH side, while the passenger-side bracket installs on the right-hand or RH side.
Front Bumper-Cover Support
The brackets mount between the front fenders and bumper cover. They help support the outer edges of the flexible fascia and locate the bumper cover correctly in relation to the adjoining front body panels.
Restores Bumper Alignment
Bent, cracked or missing original brackets can allow the bumper cover to sag, move, protrude or develop uneven gaps near the front fenders. Replacing both sides together helps establish a consistent mounting foundation across the front bumper-cover assembly.
Original GM References
The passenger-side or RH bracket references original GM number 10277023. The driver-side or LH bracket references original GM number 10277024. These pieces are newly manufactured reproductions and are not original GM or New Old Stock components.
Restoration and Collision-Repair Applications
This pair is suitable for front-end restoration, collision repair or bumper-cover replacement when the original side brackets are damaged, distorted or no longer present. Replacing the pair also eliminates the need to combine one serviceable bracket with an aged or weakened bracket on the opposite side.

Inspect Related Front-End Components
New brackets cannot correct collision damage or distortion elsewhere in the front body structure. Inspect the bumper cover, front fenders, surrounding supports and attachment areas for cracks, deformation or previous repairs before installing the new pair.
- Park the vehicle on a level surface and switch off the ignition.
- Support the front bumper cover before releasing its outer attachment points.
- Document the positions and orientations of the original brackets.
- Remove the original driver- and passenger-side brackets carefully.
- Inspect both sides of the bumper cover and adjoining front structure.
- Compare each reproduction bracket with the corresponding original.
- Place the left- and right-side brackets in their correct positions.
- Position the bumper cover without forcing or distorting the fascia.
- Align both outer bumper-cover edges with the adjoining front fenders.
- Verify even panel gaps and secure bumper-cover positioning before driving.
Do not use the brackets to pull a distorted bumper cover or damaged front structure into position. Correct any underlying body damage before completing installation.
