    88 rear bumper comparability?

    Just picked up an 88 but has a dented and cracked rear bumper.

    Will any early model rear bumper fit?

    Plenty of info on swapping to plastic but I want to keep the DBs
    And there aren't many 88s out there

    Pretty sure all the bumpers are the same, the '88s just use shorter shocks.

      Plastics are the plastics. DBs are the DBs. DBs are not the same as plastics.

        Sigh. I'm pretty sure all the aluminum bumpers are the same.

            The aluminum bumpers themselves shouldn't be an issue (share the same part number on RealOEM up to build date 06/1988).

            The bumper surrounds though differ a little bit between 88's and older DB cars.
