Your car no longer looks like it's been dipping for 20 years!

For future reference, the 3.2 bumper is a direct fit for the 2.5TLs. That means that you would need to reuse your 2.5 foam absorber AND rebar. The reason why I grabbed the 3.2 rebar was because a couple of members on here mentioned that the 3.2 bumper would not fit right without it, but that was false information. Keep in mind that the 3.2 bumper is a bit wider and will require some adjustments to the mounting points to make it fit right. I absolutely love the way my car looks now that it has a chin.

Here are a few more pics...

A little update...


P.S. If anyone is looking for a replacement, I do have a pair of 2.5TL rear hub bearing assemblies w/ rotors that are less than a year old along with a couple of other items for sale. Check out my for sale thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...2#post14146832

I actually have a set of new lowering springs and struts that I grabbed awhile back on Craigslist for dirt cheap sitting in my garage. Just never got around to putting them on.

Thanks! Too bad hail got to it.

The springs are Goldline, and I think are in that drop range.

I don't think I'll spend anymore on this car because of the amount of dents on it. I'd be happy if she continues to be problem free.

It sure is! I just had my suspension put on this past weekend. That lowered the car about 1.5" and rides almost like factory!
