    Euro Front Bumper Install - Finished Picture

    So, I have been wanting to install euro bumpers on my '90 vert for a while.

    I got a great set and tackled the front bumper last weekend. While the bumper itself was straightforward, the valance was a bitch of a fit!!! On the whole, I am ecstatic with the results. It's not 100% perfect, but I don't think anyone could do better. I think I know every part of the front bumper and valance now as I have had it on and off so many times for adjustments!! I think this changes the look of the car more than anything else I've done!

    Man that looks pretty. I’m looking to get a set of Euro bumpers myself - the sun has toasted my diving boards. What did you do with the front turn signals? If I understand correctly, the Euro turn signals are 2-prong while the US ones are 3-prong so a bit of hacking is required.

      That is a really good question. It's something I really debated. In the end I decided to just wire up the blinker (i had a pigtail for the euro turn signal) and not have any running lights. Not the best option, but it is where I decided to go. The other options were tougher, like hacking up the old turn signal and mounting it in the euro housing, etc.
