    Quick question...

    Euro bumpers on an '88? Fabrication? Bolt-on? 88's swing both ways in the bumper world, right?

    Front is direct bolt.

    Rear will not work to my knowledge, bumpers would be too short on the sides if I recall correctly.

    Perhaps somebody else has more knowledge on the subject.

      I think rear would work if you got the carbio rubber end caps on them. The cabrios had the same rear arches as the late models.

        Can someone verify that euros will fit on the rear? This is very pertinent information. :)

        I see some rubber caps in James' sig, is that what you mean?

          I was wondering the same thing. I have a set of euro bumpers laying around, and I'm trying to find another car to put them on.

            would euro bumpers work on cars with an es valence (m tech, whatever it's called)? if it does, will it look right?

              they will work on your car but not with the es spoiler. you can use the stock US valance under it but the euro valance fits much better.

                Hmmm, wonder what euro bumpers would look like on an 88. Probably too small.
