Oh that one beautiful :laugh: :laugh: :willy_nilly: :smilielol:

Wonder why they didn't mention anything about the missing front valance in there in depth description, unless I missed it?

 :icon_question: Aren't the headlights supposed to have black molding?  I think this one may have been re-painted in front.

Only 1989's had the black outlined headlights. :icon_wink:

 :icon_eek: My 90 TGP has black trim around the headlights.  I've never seen all red.

Are we talking about the headlight assembly itself or the front facia surrounding the headlight.

ALL headlights have black trim to keep from spraying light up. If you are driving in fog and do not have that black trim in your headlight itself you will not see very well.

Now the front facia/bumper cover...All factory painted Red TGP's that I have seen have the black lip painted just under the headlight.

Yes, I was inquiring about the black lip around the headlights on the facia.  The car in the auction apears to be all red.

Looks to me that MAYBE the whole car has been repainted.There is paint under the car where the spare tire is.Mine still wears the factory paint and does NOT have any red paint under the car anywhere.Also the hood and bumper cover look funny to me could jus be my monitor but it looks a lot like single stage red and not base coat clear coat paint.Looks dull to me.The hood also looks wavey on the drivers side under the windshield could be some shitty body work hiding there.I dunno,could jus be my monitor.Later...Adam

Isn't that '89 only? I've seen one or '90's with those, but I believe the owners had swapped lights off the 89's.
