bumper question

[clevelandfan]

ok. so i see there seems to be 2 styles of front bumper for the 97 - 03 grand prix. symbol between grille, w/ plate below, and symbol above grille, w/ plate to side of grille. mine happens to be the second one unfortunatly. i was curious if i could get the other kind, or any other of the other stylish bumpers for my car? do they fit and all anyway?

U would want to get a gt/gtp bumper

 

[clevelandfan]

do they just bolt up?

 

[97gtsc]

Yea, u also have to get a bumper support for gt/gtp and fog lights (stock or aftermarket)

you should definatley do this! it will look SOOO much better

 

[clevelandfan]

does that bumper support bolt up to mine? or would i be drilling and all? :th_nervous:

 

[clevelandfan]

i actually just talked to a contact of mine at auto body supply that said the bumper support is the same for both bumpers. so that means the gt bumper should just bolt up then if im not mistaken?

ok. so it seems the reinforcement is different. i will just rip one off a junkyard gt then. i can get a brand new bumper for 60 tho, so i might just do that, dependin if i find a good one at the yard.

Be aware that most new aftermarket bumpers for these cars don't come with the "hole" for the arrowhead. This means
A.) You have no arrowhead on your car
OR
B.) You put a badge overlay on it, but still not having the depth of the actual badge

Just a heads up.
