Would it be possible to change the front bumper of my 93 GTP to a TGP's.....the body styles are really similar and ive ben wanting to get a different front bumper for my car??

Invasion1

underneath the bumper its all the same so it will fit........

why would you want to change it??

shrtyGT500

I want to change it because the front bottom lip was busted off by some kid at my school.....and i just dont really like the front bumper all that much and ive always wanted to change it.

shrtyGT500

also....where would i be able to most likley be able to find a TGP front bumber...if it is possible.

Only real place you'd be able to find one would be a junkyard.. and even then you'd be really hard pressed (I think the bumper is completely unique to the TGPs?)

Don't forget though, you would also have to swap out the headlights, and the lines of the front bumper won't fit the rest of your car at all.. the rear bumper and side trim has completely different lines.

yeah i kinda figured that with the headlights...but the body style of my 93 GTP is almost exactly the same to the TGP except for the front bumper...unless im seing things.

The sheet metal is identical. The pattern of grooves (or lack thereof) on the bumpers and side cladding is different.

Didn't the change in the ribbing start in 94 when it went to 3 ribs? The 93 should be the same as the TGP except for the quad headlamps.

TGP bumper covers are hard to find btw, unique to the turbo car

I actually have no idea :lol: was taking a guess. Don't see too many pre-'94 B4Us around here.

Not trying to sound like a HARDASS, but...

Then please say..."If I recall correctly...or IIRC...or I am not sure, but..." The way you said it was like you had matter of fact proof and that it does not fit or match up. That does not help anyone to find what they want. 8)

Chris is right, but it's actually 2 ribs for the 94-96'ers.

I guess it all depends on what you are counting. :wink:

I didn't really think of anyone seeing it in any other way, I was referring to the indentions/lines in the body kit molding.
