I have to wait, It has been previously sold...
I did try it out and it was longer than ours, besides that, I have a pre '98 so it wouldn't even bolt up. I think it would look hot on an SVT or a newer Contique just because they have differant bumpers. Ours have a sort of splitter already molded on the bumper... Also, it IS indeed plastic.

Bumpers are completely different. The lower intake opening is a different size and shape, as well as the pre-98 having some odd little rectangular openings along the very bottom of the lip. The bottom also arcs up near the centerline of the car, where the 98+ is straight across at the bottom with no additional openings.

that's basically what I just said in my above post  .. I said it was close, never said it was exact. If you just glance at it they look the same.

We're talking how close are they in relation to molding a body part to them, not in just giving a quick glance. Yeah, for a quick glance they APPEAR to be virtually identical. But in terms of a body mod and fitting something to an early bumper versus a later bumper, it's not even close. That's what I was getting at.
So right back at ya!

For a $130+ USD, who's going to take a gamble and get it to fit a 'tour? Steeda Mach 1 'splitter'
