Ok, kiddles... time for the dumb question of the week...
I'm up in gawd-afful cold Western Canada, and other than going to a custom fibreglass shop, or custom fabbing, I may never get a fancy-shmancy new race bumper... I want something like the '03 'stang's got, or maybe what the '93 Probe has, basically. But apparently, a 'stang front bumper just won't fit my girl. Same deal with the Probe bumper, apparently. And I'd like a nice, rear bumper, but I haven't decided if I want it to be a flush-run bumper, or not.
The next body mod issue is, again, a front end issue; I wanna ditch the middle grille (the little scrap of plastic with the Ford Logo) and replace it with some 18ga. galvanized mesh aluminum, but I can't even get the metal guys I work with to touch it. And they HAVE an FREAKIN' english wheel right there, IN the sheet metal shop. These guys are all tin bashers, or exterior sheet metal fabricators, btw, so I suspect these particular metal-munchers couldn't freehand a berr to their yapholes.
After that, does anyone now the mounting dimensions for the mid'90's Probe Spoiler/Tail? That's the look I've gonna go for, but nobody around here carries the damn things, unless I wanna mail-order for an extra $50-odd bucks.
Lastly, has anyone seen someplace to pick up euro-style lightcovers (front and back) for Gen2's?
So, should I just hit the scrap yard, grab the centre grill off another taurus, and make a pattern, then transfer to my galvie material? Should I forever give up hope that I will find a 'snap-on' bumper to replace that nasty stock one? Will I finally be able to begin living my lifelong dream of tricking out a Taurus? Can I start looking forward to making the ricers green with envy for my car's speed AND good looks? And will Sandy ever choose between Tom, d*** and Harry?
Oops.... that last question was for another forum....
