Default Anybody running 96 and older front bumper on 97+ body?
So I'm tired of my front Vertex replica, it just doesn't flow with the rest of the body, and 97+ front bumper is hard to find and very expensive. I've been thinking may be to install pre 97 front bumper, what do you guys think?

Your car does look bad with that bumper

But its not hard to find a 97+ nor are they expensive. Go used
