alright well now its time to start saving..im taking the car down to the shop to get some price quotes on getting a nasty dent pulled outta my rear quarter panel (part of me thinks they will just have to cut it out and put in new metal and then paint it) and a dent in my hood fixed, where some as$bag decided to jump on it...I was at football practice and I see this cocky sophomore lean up against my front bumper, then decides to jump up onto my hood...needless to say, he's not going to touch my car again ...and then get a quote for the front bumper to be repainted and for the sides, rear bumper, and lip to get painted..im thinking about jumping on that nice eBay lip

Hey I like it...just out of curiosity would the lines still match up as well if you just swapped the sides for 97+ and kept the front and rear 92-96?

i think that they would be really close..now i gotta find a full list of the parts i would need such as clips retainers and such..or do i not need any of those things? right now im looking at the rear bumper assembly and there are a bunch of different parts so do i need all of them from the bumper cover to the energy absorber? i'll post the link http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...=1&catalogid=2

Talk to Milt about it since he just did this^^^^I'm pretty sure all you need for the rear is the bumper itself and the 2 side panels and that should be it.

See that looks good. All you will need are some 15mm spacers all around and possibly have to shave in the inside of the fenders so they don't rub. Other than that I think it will turn out real nice....almost OEM which is always the way to go (nice and clean).

the goal is to keep it looking as stock as possible, but yet sportier. it will all be oem on the outside with the exception of the wise front lip

i like going this way, because the 95-96 front is VERY sporty compared to the other models..but the rear..not so much same with the sides it should look good..im getting all the body damage taken out(nasty rear 1/4 panel dent, hood dent and some door dings) and having the front bumper repainted and the license plate holes covered
