    I understand that but if people are doing the early to late model front retrofit, can't the opposite be done as well?

        But as someone already said it might not fit perfect.
        No it won't...it will have HUGE gaps/holes.

            Yea never mind it looks like shit cause of that gap. Looks like it's begging for US bumpers to fill the gap.

              I purchased a set of front and rear bumpers from ECS last year. They seem to fit fairly decently, though the actual chrome bumper sections are made by an aftermarket company in Europe. I did notice a few hardware pieces were missing or wrong but nothing you can't get from the local hardware store...

                    Thanks man. These pics were taken after I had a new core support put in, among other things. Put the car into a ditch earlier in the spring so that kinda put a damper on my summer. The Euro bumpers & valance were a "while you're in there" thing. Needless to say, I spent quite a bit of money on the car last year...

                      This is my first exposure to these chrome pieces. Are they highly sought after? If so, I'm missing something.

                      Last car does look dope though.

                        are there noticable differences between this and the OEM versions?

                          These make the PRE 88/89 cars look good as they are not as ugly as the big aluminum bumpers and give you options for such things as M-Tech1 front/rear valances etc.

                              I'll stick with my used ones. Best of luck with a GB, also are these OEM or made abroad?
