sorona front bumper

i fawked up my front bumper and i was thinkin of getting the sorona front... i heard past experiences with sorona havent been greatest nevertheless my stubborn mind wants the sorona bumper....

a few questions...

1) if i do opt to get the bumper will i be able to use stock fogs?
2) anyone with sorona front and ionic sides and rear? i think i like that set up
3) any problems with kit cracking or chippin while driving (not hitting anything drastic).. like little rocks or an occasional pot hole.

I had the Sarona bumper. Let me tell you it looks great!
The only thing is make sure your shop preps. it really good and puts a couple of coats of paint and clear on it, rock chips were a bia!

Oh and watch out for cerbs it will crack.

are u planning to compliment the car w/ sideskirts and rear bumper as well?

The kit will crack/chip, whatever, but fixing it isn't that simple either. It requires painting again.

Ok I have a 96. In order to do the Sarona kit you have to change your upper grille to a 97+. I KNOW the 95-96 fogs do not fit... but I am pretty sure that the 97-99 fogs will fit with no problems. Let me know if you need to know anything else.

I got sorona front with stillen sides and back. 2 inch drop in NY sucks big time. I have to stick to driving in Long Island or my bumper is gone. So far after a year driving I havn't cracked it yet. I have my stock 97-99 foglights on also. Stillen is played out because everyone has it like Millie Miglia Evo 5s.
