[DeTomaso] Mecum Indianapolis

Or just install Kirk Evans' split "mini L" bumpers, which are far better
looking than the stock unit and require no sheet metal mods.

An "L" front bumper with "Pre-L" rear bumpers? Why, oh, why, oh,
why?!!!!!!!!!!!



>>>Good question--and this isn't the only car I've seen that has had this
treatment done to it.

Some people really like the look of the front L-model bumper.  I must
confess that when I was shopping, I wanted an L, because a red L was the car
that I saw most when I was growing up.  I bought a Pre-L and toyed with the
idea of converting it to L-model bumpers, even going so far as to buy the
front turn signal pods to graft onto the underside of the fenders.

But then I thought better of it and now I vastly prefer the Pre-L look.  If
I had an L-model, first thing I would do would be to fit Euro-style
bumperettes.
