No thanks. I plan to mod it a bit. I forget where I found this idea, but I truly love it.

Pulling the bumper back, and narrowing it makes that era's large umper look much better. It also eliminates a lot of weight from the energy absorbing pistons and hardware that mount behind it. Painting them body color is also a nice touch.

I also found a company that makes a reproduction of the older stile round tail lights. I think they would look ok with the bumper. Thoughts?

I like the round tailights, but I prefer the originals.
