Thanks for the help guys! -John I'm pretty sure people have cut out the middle to make it resemble the GT-4 bumper. I'm pretty sure Coomer tried that at one time but abandoned the project. There should be some pics kicking around though. |

QUOTE I was just wondering if there was a cheap way of changing my front bumper(ST) without spending a ton of money It doesnt matter if it is an ST or a GT, I think you meant a 94-95 versus a 96+ bumper. You can cut out the teeth-like things in the bumper. Switch to a 96+ bumper? -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |

The teeth on the bumpers are just plastic. You should be able to take your choice of cutting tool, like a hand saw or Dremel tool and cut them right out if you so desire.

o just a clue if people wanna cut out the teeth, if u ever want a lip kit be prepared because they come with notches precut just for the teeth. Either way cutting them out is pointless just remember u can always go with color matched by taking them off or just black with the covers on.
