Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I thought long and hard about where to put it and this is where it seemed logical.

Ok, so let's say I'm a guy who drives a '90 Fastback and I'm tired of my pignose. My friend from work also drives 240s, but his are both later models ('92 and '93), and his bumper cover is oh so much prettier, with its shiny Nissan symbol and its glossy paint instead of my crumbling, yellow-turning excuse for a bumper. I'm a little too broke to afford a newer model 240 so maybe I can buy one from a junker and bolt it on my broke-*** '90 for a little boost in the style department. I searched this forum, and, although we all know this is the best and only place to get your information, I googled it just for fun. Nothing. My actual question is, would it bolt right on or would it need some custom mounting? Mr. Junkyard says he sold one to a body shop for the same thing and it didn't work, but Mr. Junkyard also has "over 4000 cars on that there mountain" and a low IQ. I'm not really looking for hypotheticals here, I've thought it through and looked for myself and am somewhat confident that it would work. I was hoping maybe someone on this very forum had already switched theirs and could tell me a story about it! And yes, I know that I'll need the signals out of it as well. Thanks in advance for your expert advice!

 

it'll work, but if i recall you'll also need the the lower piece thats between the bumper and the wheelwell...kinda hard to explain, I'll try to find a pic

 

You will need new turn signals and driving lights (the clear fog lights under the turn signal).

 

technically you wont need the driving lights as they never came standard on us 240's, but they do add a nice touch to them

 

Is the piece you're talking about below the turn signal and the weatherstripping-ish thing? If so, I had no idea that was a separate piece, but judging from photos it is. Thanks for your help!

 

heres a pic, with the piece circled (not my car, just a random 240 from the web)

 

Ok, I see what you mean, that piece should be no problem to get. Thanks for your help, I would have thought that was a part of the fender. Now if I could just get that gas leak fixed up, I'd go ahead and do that...

 

no problem, good luck with everything

 

i had the exact same question as the Jebman... the add on question... so the bumper skin mounts... do i need any of the bumper reinforcements (foam)? or can i use everything that's still underneath?
