i have a 87 sport with the mtec1 kit.is there much work in fitting the tec2 bodykit?i was told the back bumper is to short.does that mean the panels that clip on the quarter panel infront of the wheel wont fit either or are they the same lenght and will fit?

try this http://www.r3vlimited.com/Tech/bumper1.htm

biggest problem is the read wheel arch is a different shape on pre and post face lift cars.

the article explains how to get around this well
