Bumpers

Post by fiat218 »

I was just reading the laws ,Minnesota/north dakota
I need bumpers or I will be stopped and I'm sure getting a ticket or fix it ticket. So I might as well avoid that before that happens
I was looking thru IAP parts , I can get the front and back shock or whatever the names are, they will slide in the original hole then I can get a custom bar made to go across the front and back,
I did not see anything for the rear,other then a shock boot?

hey Jim, what some have done was to "push" the original big tube bumpers in a bit closer to the car. They drilled a hole in the shocks and drained the oil and then drilled through and bolted in position. Kind of a in between fix. The pics I've seen of this mod looked pretty good.

If it is registered as a collector you don't have to worry.
