I couldn't find anything that discussed this. Are the front bumpers swappable - can you put an 89+ bumper on a pre-89 car? Seems reasonable to me if they are but just checking.

Thanks,

Jim

yeah, but you have to go with 89+ bumper supports too. just do some searching if you haven't already, try searching bumper supports.

Thanks for the confirmation. Search "bumper supports" it is.

Sorry about the misleading title - my mistake. I wrote it backwards.

Haven't bought a Supra yet, just making sure of what can be done with which materials. Leaning toward a pre-89 as they are much more readily available in my area than 89+. My purpose is to have a joy rider and not a daily driver. All that on a budget and personal labor - for the satisfaction.

Again, thanks for the help.

Oh and fellas, I'm not against the pre-89 style. It's just that there seems to be much more to choose from, body kit wise, for the 89+.

"Besides, aren't all Supra's the same?", he said as he deftly stepped back from the ensuing flame war.
