The front hood should have clued me in, my apologies acordingly. Enjoy the Drive, Steven R.

Bill, they cost about $1100 for F+R bumpers brackets, and shipping. Bert, the mirrors are electric euro type that came on the car OE. I also measured the ride height before and after. It went up maybe 1/8 inch. Nothing really noticeable. Steven, the front grille is actually a euro grille so I didn't have to change it. I had actually thought about adding fog lights.

I have a picture of a car with Euro's bumpers painted red and it looks awesome. I'll post it when I get home tonight!

As for mirrors, those look to be US as does your front grill. Jeff has those :-) Change those, add front fogs and a rear/roof aero and you'll be all set :-) Enjoy the Drive, Steven R. Rochlin PS: when i get her body worked on, want to CHANGE my side lights to the small round Euro "button" type and eliminate the rectangular ones.

I'm considering doing the same with my car.

They look a bit like GTO mirrors, though not as high. Did you notice the ride height go up, after the change?

My car is an original Euro model and now looks like it should. Here are some pix.
