It's a direct bolt on...

you need bumpers.

[slammed30d]

so i dont have to shorten the rear ones like what you have would have to do on 87and olde ones i believe and where is a good place to get them?

[87e30]

I'd look on here and on craigslist. Not sure though I've never been committed to doing the swap, only thought about it.

And correct, you shouldn't need to cut/drill anything. AFAIK

thanks man

I know a lot of people have done it so start getting parts and i'm sure it should be easy.

I know you obviously need the front rear bumper, and you already have the lower valences huh?

the part I'm not sure about is if you need the 89+ bumper shocks or if the shorter 88 shocks are the same.

ya i just got a new is lip and stuff i will do some more searching about the shocks.

its simple get bumpers. take your old ones off. pull your head out. and put your nose to the grindstone.
