    Euro bumpers might cost more than the car did. I would just go with plastic.

      They're not "Euro bumpers", they're 'everywhere but North America bumpers'.

        They might cost more than he paid for the car, but certainly not more than the car is worth.

          Went into the DMV today, paid 200 dollars in back registration, and the car belongs to me now.

            Dude, DO NOT convert that car to plastics. Please understand that the 87IS is a pretty rare car in the US. You will never make it look right with that valence, which was ONLY used in the US for one year. No where else was that valence equipped. Tuck your bumpers using 88 bumper shocks, and leave it. Trust me on this.


            If you plan on bastardizing that car, I will give you 3 times what you paid for it and have it shipped over here so it won't happen. That way you can buy a regular e30 WITH plastics and do what you want.

              i have to agree. the 87is/es valence looks really awesome.

              my dirty30 a few weeks before it got totalled. loved the way it looked. (yes i needed to refinish the euroweaves.)

                  Are the changes made to the car to fit plastics irreversible or something?

                    why spend all that effort when you have a great looking e30?

                          Nice work! Put that rack in, dont forget about the reverse wiring, then figure out the cruise control. But leave the bumpers an valence. My offer still stands.
