Front Bumper damage with Pictures (56k warning) - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

A few weeks back I wrecked my first car. I have a Corolla GT-S 1989. I had the car for about a year or so. No realy problems but this one.

(DVD case to compare size)

(Close up of frame)
(other Fame crack)
I need a new bumper and hood for the car and others part. I talked to a shop owner who said that the could straighten out my frame (forget how much) and going to get a hood and bumper of like 350 USD each. If I'm going to spend that much I'll just get the trueno step up then. So my question is this.
Would a JDM Kouki Front Bumper for an AE86 fit on my AE92?
Thank you for your help Steven

Probably with some modifications.

Yeeouch! That sucks, guess you get an upgrade out of it though hehe.

Couple of months ago, my 97 corolla was also in an accident...here's the fun part. Ran into the back of a recent model Holden commodore SS (some moron parking decided to pull out and not look whilst doing so), so the commodore slams his brakes on, and mine didn't quite cut it...anyways.

Only damage the commo recieved was a scratch on his rear bumper...so light the paint was still on it. So i hit him and my bumper bends a bit, no biggie. Then another commo ran up my bum and that causes the front bumper to distort out of recognisable shape, right headlights break, bonnet flexed, both indicators gone, and the radiator had crushed against the extractors...leaving a nice extractor imprint on the radiator, sandwiched. Now both commo's still only have a minor scratch

. In the end, insurance fixed it all up, paid 450AUSD and got new bumpers, light, indicators and bonnet

I'm surprised your car had no bumper harness inside it. It seems to only have a bumper cover. Glad you're ok though!

If you're getting a Trueno why not just part your car and get more from it? Goodluck

Just go for the AE92 parts and you'll have no problems fitting them.. it'll be cheaper too as AE86 parts will be hard to fit and more expensive to buy due to the initial D tax.
