dumb question: how easy is it to replace the wraparound urethane bumper on an 83 GSL with the 79 to get that 79 rx-7 look?

change fenders, lower valnece, bumper and shocks for the bumper, and its a bolt in

Still aint gonna help you with the back thats different, well I guess you could do a older bumper on one, but never heard of anyone going back in years ?

i thought about doing this one cus i thought it would be as simple as changing the bumper but mazda was smarter then me..

Your saying you wanna add the bumper from a 79? Hmmmm... I just got rid of my bumpers to ad the later model bumpers. I didn't like the extra weight of the SA bumpers

HMSS013

fenders are identical... true there is a lil more weight... but the later model wraparounds dont quite blend into the body when the sidebumps are removed... how difficult was the swap?

fenders are not identical, you need SA fenders to do it

Sammymatik

Exactly, and there is a lot more weight... I'd say close to 100lbs... unles 100#'s isn't much to you? ALmost another person

gamble is right the fenders are not the same. the sa ones also have a little metal air dam thing on the bottom

that sounds like a pain in the ***...

I think that was already said, if you look at the bottom of the fenders where the valnce attaches, its a dead giveaway.
