Awesome. The small bumper has always been the look I like, why it is so hard to find parts doesn't make sense. There should be them all over since people like the big bumpers. Oh well

Says he is fresh out of small turns.

They're still out there, right person just hasn't seen your needs yet.
Post in the For Sale / Wanted.

And i'll have more options to check on in near future also.

Big bumper bolts right up if you have it complete.

Think the metal reinforcements on smalls are diffy - but might could be improvised to hold a big skin.

The fenders have diffy support perches and maybe an extra mounting hole.
But if you pull a complete one off a car yourself - you'll be able to get everything you need and see the minor upgrades.

Turn sigs from 88 up have diffy pigtail connectors into the harness.
Splice as needed.

the fenders are indeed shaped differently, and you need everything to make it work..

the bumper, and the fenders, along with all the bracketry..

i imagine you could make a big bumper work on small fenders, but it wont look right, and the bumper ends wont be supported..

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.
