    GTX bumpers

    I just got a 88' GTX and i did not get the front bumper with it, my question is, is there a styling difference between the GTX bumpers and regular model bumpers?

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

    Yea. There is a difference in style and design.

      Thanks, I'm assuming I can use a regular model 323's bumper and bumper support on my GTX and it bolt up no problem?

        Yeah, but you'll need the metal, lower valence off the lowly, pathetic, anemic, N/A 323.

          ^^and that's what I'd like to try and avoid, I guess worst case senario I'll get a base model bumper to get it on the road then keep my eye out for a GTX bumper

                I think his is the Isuzu I-Mark RS bumper (late '80s - early '90s).

                  Thanks guys for all the tips, once I got some more cash I'll definitely get a decent bumper for it

                    structureboy and BFMRGTX have the coolest front bumpers, but those cost some serious cash and you'd be lucky to find another one.... ever... (same one as TTter)
