Okay, so I realize I'm in the minority, but I like the look of the pig nosed bumper. Especially with the front spoiler. I pass one every day on the way to work and I love the look.Meanwhile I feel stuck with the white bread 91 front end. Anyone got an 89/90 front bumper they'd be willing to sell or trade? Especially in super red?Extra bonus if you live in the northern midwest (MN, WI, IL, IA).

I don't think I'll ever trade my pignose. I think that it provides better airflow to the intercooler also.

Hey! pro pignose!. Ajax, I live in MN too. I got a '90 hatch. How 'bout we just trade cars all together. ;) I kinda like the pignose too, not so much for the pignose itself, but I hate the '92 '94 bumper signals. that tear shape is ugly.

Not crazy bout the pig nose. Replaced mine with a 91+... do you guys kno if the fitting is exactly the same? The bottom of the bumper doesn't quite line up with the fender. Regardless, looks nice with the front lip.. I still have my pig nose in blue with scratches if anyone's interested... let me know.

My car is bright red, so the Front bumper is too. I already have the newer bumper off of a 1993 240 on my car so I don't need another bumper, but I will sell mine for like $50 bucks plus shipping.

The 1991+ S13's have a piece bolted to the bottom front of the fender to make them wider to match th bumper, if you take this off it will match up to the 1989-90 bumper, but you will have holes in your fenders to fill in.

Sure it does...:rolleyes and it also makes the front end of your car look like a warthog with a harmonica.

I'll take the '91-94 bumper anytime. I didn't lament losing the pignose on the '90.

Hmm,... Are the pieces that makes the fenders wider at the bottom easy to find? I mean, besides purchasing a whole new fender.. makes me want to do the sileighty conversion if I have to get all new fenders..

One of the kids in our car club has two 1993 240SX's one hatch and one coupe, we use the coupe for parts so I got the front bumper and fender pieces off of that. I would imagine anyplace that sells replacement parts for the car should have these pieces, there are 3 screws and two clips that hold them on so you can put them on any s13 fender. I will look and see if I can find the fender pieces and post it if I do.

I dunno, I've always kind of liked the Mad Max look myself.

The cop didn't really care for it the one time I went sans bumper, though.
