well all these pre 97 parts kinda makes me believe it might be a conversion? definitely double check that.

Personally...i like the pre-97 wing and rear bumper much better then the 97+ spoiler and rear bumper...looks more aggressive from behind

Those pre parts might give you a clue that its been in a rear end collision. Car fax it. unless you dont care. Its nice though.

thats the benefit of CL. show us that thing and we'll derive many different possible reasons for why it is the way it is.

+1 on the rear end collision before. although i argee the pre 97 parts sometimes look better, the bumper worries me. the wing i can accept as maybe he changed it out, but having a non 97 rear bumper only kinda throws up a red flag.
