i was checking out 850s at the junkyard and i saw a couple with different bumpers and i liked them. they were different from mine. they had a nice lip and the plastic part was on the front but not on the top. idk if that made sense. oh and they had wide places for the license plates. looked like they were for euro plates.

i didn't have time to look but does anyone know if that would fit my car? or would it look retarded?

and i think they were 93 but i'm not sure.

i think it looks more euro, like the 1994 bumpers look more american with no area for the euro tag, say, i would love to have one too, if you dont mind, if they have more, where you getting it? im also having a custom bumper made too, but wieght is a issue.....

I prefer the R/T5R lip, but i still keep my OBD2 lip at home, though many offers to buy it.
:)


If you like it, dude, nothings stopping ya...

not wichita, but yeah, SCCA event, salina region. yesterday, i think i attended my last one for a little while (i think). i need to get some different tires. the lower the tread rating on a tire the better. average is 200-400. mine is high-mileage tires, so they're rated at 700. yesterday, i actually got the back end to whip around on me, which on a front wheel drive, was kind of .. unexpected haha... :clap:
