Trueno bumper on a levin?

Postby Andy from the block » Wed May 04, 2005 4:43 pm

Can you fit a AE101 Trueno front bumper on to a AE101 Levin?

(I tried using search, nothing helpful)
Thanx

You could, but the guards are different so it'd be alot of work. Why would you want to do it anyway?

I want to buy this bumper but not sure if it will bolt up.

So in a trueno does the center portion (ie: where the grill would be for the levin) raise up slightly to meet the bonnet?...does it have the same fitting holes and inserts?

the center just runs flat with the rest of the bumper on a trueno, has about 3-4? visable clip holes between the headlights to attach to the frame, aslong as your center grill dosnt have to attach to it and the guards are the same I dont see why it wouldnt fit.
