Rick

overseas the laws are different and the cars do not come with the crash brace, thus the bumper is designed differently. It bolts to the same mounts as the crash brace does, so the brace must be removed in order to install the GTX bumper. In turn the bumper is about 2.5-3" shorter than the stock one.

the GTX 323 only made it here for 88 and 89, in both hatchback and sedan form, AWD and turbo B6T motors.

As itzkcatz said, the 90-94 GTX/GTR was only available overseas, known as the Familia or 323. Mine came from a 90-94, thats all the info i have on it. It's not the normal GTX bumper you see though, the air/grille openings aren't as aggressive looking. No idea where to get one, this one just kinda found me

bodykit.co.nz (Dwayne) is who makes both the Combat and EVO kits, Corksports imports from them.
