a to the j sold his car recently..

after we swapped trannies and engines he modified the Gracer to a pre 89 style and used 2 pre 89 grilles, he could have used pre 89 signals but that would require swapping out the header panel support.

No need to swap pre89 header panel support to use pre89 signals on an 89+. The 89+ header support just needs minor trimming.

Here are pre89 signals on an 89+ bumper

AJ's supra is long gone. Supra70 did a clean pre89 Greddy bumper mod.

Here's a recent updated pic of my pre89 bumper from ToyotaFEST 09 courtesy of Speed Syndicate. Not much has changed. Just painted my lip satin black.

Yeah, Supra 70's bumper is hot!! I know you guys are trying to help, and I appreciate it, but I still would like to get an answer to my qeustion, I'd like to know how much lower is the Gracer bumper than a stock pre "89" bumper. I guess, I'll call Shine Auto to find out........

I'd say it would be equal to adding a Shine lip or CFX lip to a stock bumper. About 3" added to the botom. I have had the GReddy/Shine replica and a 89+ w/ the Bomex 2 hole lip, and they are almost identical in height w/ the bumper(s) removed and sitting on the ground.

any way the wind blows
My 90 with a replica bomex 2 hole was way lower than my GRacer. I couldn't fit my shoe underneath my car with the lip mounted. As goes for the GRacer, it was sitting at about the height of the stock 89+ bumpers but a tad lower. Wouldn't know about the -89s though.

7mgte1988, supra is hot mang. Red pre 89s are the business.

Yeah +1, I would have to agree, it looks really clean. Engine bay looks really nice too. As for red pre 89's, maroon/burgandy ones are waaaayyy hotter! :sarcasm:

The Greddy bumper is probably about 3" lower than a lipless pre89 bumper.
