Welcome!

2.5 parts do not swap with 3.2

91 - 95 Acura Legend parts DO swap and there are several.

UA2 = 2.5TL
UA3 = 3.2TL

Engine modification parts and suspensions are not interchangeable between the two. Looks like you have a 2.5 bumper on that 3.2.

Yep... the 2.5 bumper mostly fits. Slight gap issues towards the edges.

I believe that all lightings from the two models are interchangeable.

why does it have a 2.5 front bumper?? i thought the front looked kinda odd. get a 3.2 bumper put on that. nice ride though. hows the interior?? as far as parts were not as lucky as alot of other hondas and acuras. theres not much of an aftermarket for our cars. if u have a 3.2 u can pick up small things such as a SRI or CAI they sell for the 91-95 Legends.

the interior is decent, the carpet need to get washed tho! it has 185,XXX miles i got it for 1500 so i believe its a good deal! and yeah i have noticed that parts are hard to come by but thats what what i really like that it just makes the 1G more unique!
as for what i have plan make it as jdm as possible!
im still not completely sure! but ill be doing things little by little! any ideas???
i think ima stay with the 2.5 bumper the car is salvaged, im guessing that front was hit and they just replaced it not knowing diff body style! reason being the mugen lip!

heres some interior pic! low quality=/

Jealous of the price! Get a proper 3.2 bumper and it'll look much better.
