Can anyone out there tell me if there is a body kit, or maybe even just some sportyer looking bumpers or other exterior products out there to make my 240 look a little more... slick?

Run a search on google. I'm quite positive you're bound to find some really cool ones...

You could always chop the top like the 264C. :whistling:

(Which is, IMHO, the only thing that ever made a 240 look dorkier... and before anyone jumps on me, I had a 240 and a 240 wagon, loved 'em both. But "slick" and "240" need an arbor press to be fitted in the same sentence...)

meh, if you built one off a regular 240 bumper...you could prolly do it fairly decent. like youd have imperfections of course, but would they generally be noticed easily??

i'd just dump the plastic, and work off the metal. probably sandblast it, prime it, then slosh some resin on it for something nice to stick too. measure out carefully with a measuring tape and square. mark off my stryofoam and glue it temp to my metal bumper. fibreglass it. put some coats on, sanding of course. then sand it, resin it, sand that, bodyfill it, sand that, prime it, and paint it up.

just what i would do personally, in short form of course.
