    99 Bumper On A 91 Stealth TT?

    I've been looking for a good alternative to the beat to hell bumper on my Stealth but have had no luck in finding anything that'll make it stand out in my home town. Will a 99 bumper cover fit on my car without heavy modification?

    From what I see in some comparison pictures, the only real issue is the rounded edge on the snake eyes. I was thinking, as I am plannin on some robo-modded 2gs and 2g buckets a little later on, if I just square off the snake eyes for now will it work? I'll also be looking for a decent 2g Stealth bumper cover to make the 99 a little more fitting.

    Thanks for helping a body noob out!

    No, it will not properly fit the pop ups without modification. You would need to "weld" the top half of your 1g bumper to the bottom half of the 99 bumper. That would defeat the purpose if you plan on going 2g later.

    That looks pretty bad to me, I think I'll just be biting the bullet and going for the 3SX 1g 99 Bumper...

    Hilbilly Homeboy needs to post pics of his old car. That was a 1g RT that looked awesome because it was done right.

    That's EXACTLY the look I want! Any idea how much it took to make it look like that? Hell, If I can make one look that good I would scrap the whole idea of 2g headlights.

    A shop did it, but basically they cut the top portion of his stock RT bumper off, then took measurements and cut the top portion of a 99 bumper off. They then used proper methods to join the two.

    What do you think it'd run me roughly to have something like that done? Sorry about all the questions, but I'm not all to savvy on my body work.

    I do like the way Hillbilly squared up the boomerangs with the pop-ups.But those are old pics of "Abbie".Iceman_ii's car is much better now.Even if the boomerangs are a little wide.Blacked-out turned out much better.
