3.2 bumper on a 2.5???

Yes I'm trying to figure out if the 3.2 bumper will fit the 2.5 becasue the 3.2 seems to have that lip kinda looking thing on the lower end, and also does anyone know how hard it would be to do a 3.2TL convertion to the 93-95 Legend? and are there any forums?

there was already a thread on this and the 3.2 bumper is actually a little bigger? than the 2.5. I wanted to do that too at one point but then I found out that I couldn't.

3.2 TL conversion on a Legend? the Legend is pretty different from a TL, the stance is extremley different. I can tell you that. The Legend is lower than the TL

You could go ghetto and bondo on the front-end like a Civic I saw in Milpitas with an RSX front, hehe. You could see into the engine bay from the cowl area.

~Cheers~

there is a guy here who has a 2.5 with a 3.2 front and it was like that when he bought it so you prob can't ask him anything. he didn't know it until we told him. he posted pictures of it in the photo gallery.

I've seen a 3.2 with a 2.5 bumper, unless you looked at it close up, it seemed to fit just fine. Closeup, it had a few small gaps. Even then I dont think 90% of people would notice.

962.5TL had a 3.2 bumper on his 2.5. He didnt change the hood or fenders though. I think aside of the acutal bumper cover itself you have to get an entirely new bumper reinforcement, the one that is under the bumper itself. if that makes sense.

And if i were to get the whole refrocement and the actual bumper, it'll fit right in the stock locations of the 2.5, Man the 3.2 front looks so good, but this is kinda getting a hard to figure out.
