Pre Facelift or Not ?

[White Nightmare]

Hey guys, I tried doing a search but didn't come up with anything. I was hoping I could get peoples general opinions on which body styles they liked more and why ? I almost think I like the pre facelift more than the later. Please leave your thoughts on the subject.

Agreed. An early model with late model bumper swap is totally fuckin awesome.

Euro bumpers with say an M-Tech 1 kit are sweet too.

Pretty much anything non diving board is cool.

not that I am biased or anything ;)


I would say from the factory the best is mtech1 but if you are going to part one together the aforementioned setup is my fav.

Post Facelift, with Alpina spoiler... and colour coded bumpers.

Plus, better tails, and rear arches.. IMO

Pre look better to me.

One silly thing thou, the rear sills looks stupid because they sit like 4" higher than skrits.

I liked the pre tails better, so I did a bumper swap, and have the best of both worlds!

Yep, same here. I am suprised to see that most people like pre 88 cars, you know, with the fact that no one likes diving boards and the 88+ had the rear valance.

Well, some of us even installed the rear valance.

I love the late BUT I would looove to have a mtech1. Thats truly where my heart is. Euro bumpers + full mtech1 > plastics

Thanx for the feed back guys. I guess its pretty clear that most people prefer the pre facelift cars more. I just wish there was an easy way to get the later valance on the early cars. Thanks again guys.
