I agree it would be disappointing if it isn't. If you look close at the picture of my car(Yellow) above you will see it is torn on the drivers side. That was from someone kicking up a 2ft section of a tractor trailer tire that hit the front and tore the bumper and broke the radiator. That was a $350.00 day going to work.

You were right the bumper was not the original, I already bought the correct one used and put it on the car. I am also planning on going to rhode island later this week to buy a plain 850 with a blown motor for 500 dollars just for the hatch, door panel etc so the car is slowly coming together =p

Where did you find the R bumper and how cheap was it?
Was it a parts car?

Wow this guy about a hundred miles from me offered me a hood and a door for $75, excellent shape because he got hurt on the job and is desperate for money. Looks like this car is really shaping up, cant wait for next spring when everything is done :P
