Given that your bumper is shot it might be worth a FREE cut and test fit Who knows? Maybe it'll line up with the 97 rear side spats, but might be more work than it's worth... I know the newer bumpers stick out farther, but nothing a snip here, and a snip there couldn't fix... lol Idea is starting to sound ghetto, nevermind. Haha
hahaha this made me bust up laughing in a packed coffee shop full of people studying for finals I caught at least 15 stares

honestly it looks like most of the bumper will bounce back after he takes it off and then minor body work can then be done the oem are pretty flexible.

This repair will require a replacement back-panel...

which is spot welded....

most likely a bumper reinforcement and foam absorber too

Have fun with it and post lots of Pics

Welcome back to the SC community. Glad we didnt loose you bro. I hated to see your SC all banged up awhile back. Good luck with your upcoming build.
