When I bought my s13 it had this god aweful bodykit on, the last piece that remains is the front bumper. I don't like the pig nose style, but it seems to be the only style of a front bumper that I can get my hands on. I need the entire front bumper assembly not just the bumper cover. My questions are,
1) Will a 91-94 front bumper cover fit on the assembly of a 89-90 (pig nose)?
2) If yes, is does anyone know where to get a 91-94 bumper cover? (because I know where I can get a 89-90 front bumper assembly)
3) If no, does anyone know where I can get a 91-94 bumper assembly and bumper?

thanks for your time guys.

Search it I'm sure this has been covered before

1) I'm not 100% sure but the 91-94 bumper should just bolt up
2) search classifieds on zilvia there's always someone parting out a 13 or sellin their old unused shit

the fenders and all hardware are identical as far as mounting locations..

Pignose fenders do not have the holes cut out for the fender extension piece for the "chuki" bumper.

the bumper "reinforcement" bar is not swappable. pignose bumper has to have a pignose bumper bar.

the lights sockets are the same.

the brackets that hold the bumper to the car are not swappable.. the holes and bends are slightly different. whichever bumper you find, MUST have the correct brackets installed.


To find a bumper....

Have you been to any junkyards around your area? keep an eye on craigslist, and other sites, to find any part outs.. you can typically find bumpers for 10$ all the way up to 200... depending on quality, and what it comes with.

I thought that if you just swap out the styrofoam that's in the bumper that it's fine. Are they not the same exact bumper bar just different inserts to fit the different bumpers?

And what brackets are you referring to the ones under the eyes, and on the rad support?

Sorry it's just been a really long time since I've don't any work on a stock s13 front end plus most of the times I did work on em we were pulling it off to swap it to either a kit or a JDM front

I have been to all the "pick and pulls" that have a 240sx in my area. all the Chuki years had no bumper or really damaged ones. My thought was for now, I would buy a pig nose assembly, since i have found many of those, and put it on so that I can drive the car to get it smogged, etc. the current "bumper" on the car is falling off and the car is not safe to drive. In the end game, I would like a Chuki bumper, that is why I created this thread in the first place. To see how easy it would be to swap back to a Chuki when I found one. So apparently, not too easy?
