V8 bumpers on a 200? doable?

[Steve Sears]

Chris,
IIRC the V8 bumpers intrude on the fenders in the vicinity of the fog 
lights.  You can search the net for Paul Fernandes' write up on putting a V8 
hood (what I did) on a 100/200/5000 - the hood was no probs, but I believe 
that the fenders did not do well with the bumper without cutting - you have 
to do something custom with the plastic mounts on the fender for the bumper 
as well.
Cheers!
