yea, at night the car just doesnt look the same with no corners so i thought about drilling holes and putting another light in there. i dont know if you would still be able to see the turn signal then though.

i'll keep the 89 then. i'll just keep the other one as a back up or untill i find a new home for it

if you're 89+, then 89+, if it's pre 89, then go with 89+ anyway..

j/k..

I'd say stick with your original year, that way it's more original...

Looking good as always.

 

[SuprA70]

Thanks.

I'm thinking of selling the bumper... I think I'm over the pre-89 thing :icon_bigg

 

[RazoE]

what's next, MKIII style..?!?:biglaugh:

 

[empera]

price?

 

[SuprA70]

Most likely just a new stock 89+ bumper + lip, or a Greddy w/o the cut nose.

price?

Definitely premium, it'd have to be the cost of a new bumper + cash at the very least.

I'll create a proper thread for it, if and when the time comes.

Some other cool pre 89 poopra with a tom's bumper:

I want that Tom's bumper!!

 

[AGlobalThreat]

Thats a very nice design

 

[RazoE]

nahhh, looks like a Monte Carlo...

 

[A-to-the-J]

Sorry I hate to Hijack: Does anyone know how much lower is the Greddy GRacer front bumper is than a stock pre "89"??
Where's "A through J" Panda?

I'm still around..been busy with school.

a to the j sold his car recently..

after we swapped trannies and engines he modified the Gracer to a pre 89 style and used 2 pre 89 grilles, he could have used pre 89 signals but that would require swapping out the header panel support.

eh..didn't feel like using pre-89...too much hassle...

I see Mike's car is doing well...but I am still the original Pre-89 Gracer™ man!

quick question, are pre-89 turn signals the same as 89+? I have a 90 with a pre-89 bumper(bought it that way) and it didnt come with a grill. i just got a grill today and it fits, but there is alot of leftover space on each side of the grill. im wondering if the previous owner changed the bumper to pre-89 but not the turn signals, and its causing the grill to not fit properly. are pre-89 signals the same as 89+?

no. pre89 turn signals are longer than the years after them.
