I have seen a couple of cars with bumpers like these over the years. I think they are SWEET! I am hoping that someone here could tell me where to pick one up.

If you are talking about the oil cooler opening of the bumper then it is just cut out of a normal bumper and had a plastic trim piece placed around the cut end. If it is something else then I missed it completely.

The air dam is called a "Deep LE" and has brake duct holes in it. Several people still sell them. I bet AA has them. I bought mine from AIR about 20 years ago. |

If it were me I would get the spoiler or valence and install the FG spoiler with the
cutout and the bumper. Now mark the bumper where the cuts need to start so the cutouts will meet perfectly. Complete the tracing on the bumper ( I would make a template from the spoilers cutout.) and find a metal shop with a plasma cutter. Will come out clean and smooth. Maybe a little attention with some sandpaper and have it polished and chromed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
