Bumper shuffle ;)

Got alot done this weekend.

Front needs more paint, side skirts are a 100% match, just not enough paint on front yet, but shes coming.. looks 100% better IMO

this morning :

Re: Bumper shuffle ;)

Looks pretty good. I personally loved the look of your car before though. Im not a huge fan of the 91-92 GFX though, so I might be biased. Im toying with the idea of picking up a formula for fun...Next to the TA body style the formula is my favorite.

Good luck getting her painted and lined up!

See how close the side skirt matches, the front is a little grayer, needs a couple more coats.. but I love how the ground effects will give it more depth

I never liked the 91-92 style till I bought my 91 it kind of grows on ya. You changing the tail lights or not? Can't wait to see the finished project.

Re: Bumper shuffle ;)

Hey Can i have an exact list of parts needed to convert a pre 91 bird to that front end and rearbumper?

I don't want the ground effects, I want to convert it to a firehawk "clone" but not really

It looks nice,

Im going with a 4 inch cowl hood, 91+ bumpers, and formula hatch, and BMW Blue metalic paint!
