I lost my best friend

Well,
My friend came by to drop his boat off. (I usually do maintenance on it for him, no charge of coarse) and that bastard backed into Tiffany!! I wasn't here thank God, split here nose open with the motor. Its really not to bad but I hate that ****. He offered to pay for it, but what do you say when he does a lot of stuff for me. I feel like I've been kicked in the NUTS!! Do all 2nd gen bumpers fit? some one link my pics ( see mads North east section)

Way to be helpful.



In response to your question, yes. You can use either an S4 or an S5 front end on your "Tiffany" ('87 TII, right?). You will have a problem with matching up the trim, but you should be able to take care of that.

S5, our fogs kick more ***, the whole front end looks more aggressive...not hatin on the S4's I just prefer my S5 front...although mine needs replaced...found an out-of-place (meaning in my way) ice pile this past winter....fucked up quite a bit

My bad. When I said you need a s5 I thought you were talking about your GXL.

Technically you can use either for any year, but the side moldings dont match up so its best to stick s4 bumpers on s4 cars and s5 bumpers on s5 cars. Unless you are swapping rear bumper and the side panels.

I see no gaps....
I thought that the gaps were from not having that rubber liner in there that goes around the bumper. But it does not appear to be on Fast's car.

the S5 nose fits perfectly on an S4 car. Just do what 1FastT2 has done and get the front fender moulding from an S5 and paint black to match the trim. his car's trim looks like a gloss black of sorts but I think the flat black is a much better look. I'll post pics of my S5 nose on S4 car later...I kept all S4 trim except for the nose, as long as you paint the trim section in black it happens to look fantastic!! my mazdaspeed lip helps in the front too hehe the OEM mazda nose fits the best, 3rd parties won't fit as well but will be very cheap (though I don't think they make it anymore).

Evo, apology accepted; Marcus the rebuild from Kevin is fine. Only 500 miles on her. It's tough having 2 rx's when both need some work. I've been working on Tiffany lately. I got new wheels and tires for her and got to run a few laps at VIR! Some one PLEASE post my pic from the MADS thread or fd3boost I dont know how.
