OP, clean car. Welcome to NICO. Glad to have you here. :dblthumb:
I wasn't sure if it changed with the same year as the rear wing. Guess Nissan just likes to F wit us :crazy:

im confused about the whole mustache thing cuz my 92 does not have a black painted mustache and there is absolutely no signs of body damage from an accident or that its been repainted.

Lets just agree that the mustache is totally random?

It had to at least have had the bumper cover replaced or repainted. The moustache was on every car until 1995. Are your mirror bases black or body color?

Mine was replaced because I pulled up too far on a curb and broke the lip, and I just had the replacement painted the body color, since it wasn't a really bright color. It's very common on these cars.

Nope. It was one every single car until the 95 model came out. Period. If it isn't on your car now, the bumper was painted. Period. Guaranteed.

Well im in a 96 so I dont have the mustache, but thank you for clearing this up. For the record, I was definitely not being serious.

Where did you get the exhaust? And how does it sound?

Got it from aksracing on ebay. Was a good deal. Its an M2 performance muffler. The straight h pipe bolt holes dont line up on a 96 actually. Only works on a 90-95. Its 304 stainless, good quality. I really like how it sounds. Low rumble, much nicer than the stock exhaust.

they are black. if my front bumper was repainted it was PERFECT match. i mean factory match. theres no sign of front end damage of any kind so IDK. if i can remember ill look for signs the bumper was taken off
