I have an extra front bumper for my 94. I would love a Swift bumper but no luck finding one. I was wondering if anyone has modified a stock bumper with lights, vents ect..I'm not really worried about mpgs just want to make it look a little better . Ideas for the rear would be good also.Thanks

Get a lower bumper valance from an early Chevy S-10 (with or without foglamp holes) and it will pretty much fit perfect................

Mullet, any idea if the S-10 clip will fit a 95+? I'm looking for something a little more rigid than garage door trim.

Tried it and it did not fit right at all.

I'm looking at one off a 96ish S-10, and it looks pretty close.

I might find one in a JY, and test fit. There is a 95+Metro in STL near a buddy's house that has some sort of lower valence that looks like it could have been stock, it fits so well. I'm thinking perhaps it's one of these.

Jaded.. lot of the late model owners have been using garden edgeing with pretty good results... cant remember what the thread was called but if you puch in garden edgeing you would find the threads.

my thoughts have been to take 4" and one slat from the center of the bumper and add it to another... if thebumper is still in decent shape just whack and tack but if you are like me and buy a parts car whos front bumper has seen too many bad parking lot experiences then a strip out of the center would be best.

just be sure to match with the rear
