this post is for the fellow gen 3 guys running around with taurus lips.

so i was browsing around looking for different options of front bumper lips. then i stumbled on this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FORD-...item4aa19c1f61

so my question is if its possible to fit this taurus lip? only you guys can answer this question to compare how similar the body shapes are.

From the looks of it, it seems the mounting points and shape of it is pretty much the same, so I'm guessing its a go

You should wait for others to confirm this too though

Oh, btw the seller ships to continental US for that price.. you might want to check shipping to Hawaii

shipping to hawaii blows :/

That'll fit. I've seen the front end of ford taraus's about 2093923092390 times pulling lips for people.

Second gen taraus's. 1992-1995. All trims EXCEPT the high powered SHO.

It's quite a big cost difference, not sure how much different it would look though.. looks fairly similar to the regular lip

***LynchburgCSI*** · 07-19-2010, 06:16 PM

It's about $20 more than getting a regular lip shipped to you. Not terrible.... but not amazing.

iovaykind · 07-19-2010, 06:21 PM

Well, the n3rdified it will cost way more cause of shipping.. either way, it's not a big difference.. i could only see a bit difference to it

not amazing thats for sure...i cant even get my hands on a rear window spoiler cause nobody ships to hawaii!

fml. oh well just wondering. if anyone else wants to hop on this idea and has stacks of 20$ laying around go for it. (spitifire ;D)

Anyone ever try this lip on a Gen4? That looks pretty awesome.

***LynchburgCSI*** · 07-20-2010, 11:01 AM

^ For the love of god... that would be worse than putting a celica spoiler on a camry. I'm sure some members know what i'm talking about. The lesson here: know the body lines of your car. Curvy 2nd gen taraus + angular 4th gen camry = NO.
