    maybe. I don't know for sure. Get some measurements of how long the lower part of the quarter along which the bumper runs is on early verts and late-model cars. IIRC they're the same.

    More info: you'll want to use the convertible bumper endcaps because their length works out correctly, IIRC. You'll also have to drill out holes for the euro mounts and close up the plastic bumper shock holes.
    I just reread your tip here and wanted to clarify... so the euro chrome bumpers will fit on my rear end but I need the cabrio end caps, not the coupe/sedan caps, which are the pointy pieces attached to the end of the chrome bumper in this picture

    Since I saw how the valence was attached to the metal bumpers I did not think it would attach to the what I have now the same way?
