I bought an 89 up bumper for my wife's 87. Is the nose panel different between the 87 to 89?

ya they are the body style changed slightly in 89 you might have a fun time getting that bumper to fit if it even will

 

[supradreamz]

yes it will fit plenty of people have done this all over the forums...the only thing i heard about the swap being difficult is having to change the turn signal markers(which isnt actually difficult at all) sooo get to it

The fog lights are different also I believe...and grill inserts

just use the pre 89 turns or else you have to swap the header panel. the grill is part of the bumper. fog lights wont fir either.

Thanks. You guys are a big help. The bumper I bought with nothing on it from Jhot (cool guys so far), but I will be buying the fog lights, turn signals, and grills from them. I just didn't know what the difference is between the 87 and 89 nose panel since he told me I needed it for the conversion.

A bunch of people have done it. It fits.

By nose panel I assume you mean the part above the bumper in front of the hood? If so, that is the same between the two, and is not required.

the mounts for the turn signals are different.

You need the nose panel because the mounting points for the corner lights, grill and the bumper are different on it. If you use your pre 89 nose then you will have to use your long corner lights.

Jhot sells the 89+ nose panels with the round toyota emblum for like $35 bucks.

the panel is the same, all you need to change (actually you don't need to, it's optional) is the header panel SUPPORT, after that, it's all bolt on...

 

[Jeff Lange]

What they said, you need the support, not the complete panel.

Thanks again. I will just pick up an 89+ panel that doesn't have the headlight washers in it. The washers on my 87 look look like the car has nipples.

 

[RazoE]

you can fill in the holes too..

but if you're going to swap to a 91+ emblem, you might as well do it now while it's out...
