what does everyone think of putting the GTR repilic front bumper on an 88 GTX? in thinking of getting it from corksport because i want room for a big FMIC but i kinda feel that it might not look as good as it does on a real GTR. if i do it should i do the GTR hood vents also?

will it even work on the BF?I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

Yeah cs makes a replica that is sized for the bf due to the lack of aftermarket bumpers for the bf. I personally don't like the gtr bumper on the gtr. But the hood vents look good on a bf.

Look closely at the car on the left and you'll see it's a BF chassis:
If I'm mistaken, than someone did a hell of a job mounting BF headlights/corners on a BG chassis. It's hard to tell really since the side mirrors still look like a 323/Pro.
So yeah I think the GTR front end goes nicely on a BF.Not the sports page

I wish the set of side skirts that i got worked because I haven't seen a BF with the GTR replica bumper on it with the factory/jdm/etc side skirts. It might look better with those. Just a thought.1988 323 GTX 5 speed
