    Why euro bumpers on a late model? You mean the international plastic bumpers?

      88's were the conversion year for plastic bumpers - they are fully equipped for the swap but come with metal bumpers from the factory

      Looking forward to seeing some more progress. In for more pics!

            Euro bumpers aren't a direct fit on your car. I've never seen euros on a late model car, not sure if it's possible or how much work it would take. The plastics bolt on.

                If anything, shell the extra money towards a mtech 1 spoiler.. And I'd hate to see a spoiler less trunk drilled, lol because I've been keeping my eyes out for one..

                  I don't think the rear euro bumper will fit on a late car with the lower rear arches.

                    I was researching this, I'd really like if euro bumpers could work, but if not I'll keep the Us ones, they are always useful as a bench.

                      I know people have done it on convertibles, but not sure what the requirements were. Plus, this car has a late rear valance, it would just look out of place. Nice car, though.

                        Euro bumpers are strange on late cars. They are too small for the lower valances. They don't look really good at all.
