Default Bumper help!

Well my roommate dominated a couch on the highway with my other roommate's y2k t/a and fucked the front bumper and the passenger side front quarter panel all to hell. We're just trying to figure out if the bumper below will fit this car without any alignment problems, he doesn't wanna go aftermarket to avoid fitment issues, thanks guys.

As long as the nose hasn't already been trimmed to accept the Firehawk hood.

That's what we're trying to figure out, is whether or not it comes from slp already trimmed for the firehawk hood.

Since it's not very specific on the SLP site, you'll probably just have to call and ask them.

If that won't work, you might try site sponsor www.tennesseeauto.com for a nice used one.

Thanks for reminding me about them. I completely forgot about that site. I'm just trying to help him find an oem bumper that's not outrageously priced. Be nice if we could find a black one.

Well, I just called SLP and they said it won't line up correctly with the WS6 hood. I checked Tennessee auto, also and they don't have anything listed. I guess it's time to sift through the for sale forum and post in the want to buy forum.

There was an entire front clip from a '98 'bird on ebay earlier today. I'd keep a lookout there as well for something.
