Can a change to chrome bumpers be made relatively painlessly ?
Karl Vacek
Sort of... but it won't be exactly! The RB cars have additional bracing in the
front that the bumper mounts to. The ends if the braces are in the way if you
want to use an earlier grille. They would have to be cut off to clear an
earlier grille. Looks to be a royal PITA unless you have a small cutoff saw and
patience. If you don't use an earlier grille, it looks goofy IMHO. The rear end
is slightly different on a RB car too. The body just under the tail lights is
chopped off to make room for the RB. When you switch to the split chrome
bumpers or even a solid one it becomes really noticeable to a spridget person.
