I was a little bummed about the car having a sunroof, but oh well. I'm not over 6' so the lower ceiling doesn't bother me. The extra weight all the way up there on the roof is a bummer though.
Hmm, I wonder if the 3.0 flares ar the same as TS... (think Euro vs. America bumpers) I know there are about four different versions of those depending on which model they're from originally. You would definetly need the little "corner trims" on the bumpers to match the corners on the bumpers to the flares though. Naturally there are some versions ov the trim pieces as well.

Too bad you guys are on the wrong side of the planet, I got a couple of sets of flares to spare...

I have some of the Verde flares around somewhere along with the little bumper trim pieces, I'll have to hold them up to the car and see how they fit. I have a feeling the flares will fit fine but the trim caps will be different.

Switching to the 4.10 and doing the suspension are a little higher on the priority list though



AlfaRonny,

That's cool, thanks! You wouldn't happen to have a 1280x1024 version would you?

US verde flares look similar to the ones on 75TS, but they are different. The ones on verde are more rounded at the edge (like rear fender flares on 75evos), while there is a definite "flat" (or edged) part on the edges of the ones on 75TS (I think that euro 3.0 V6s had this type). I once heard somebody saying that the verde flares are metal... True? I know that the ones on 75TS are made of plastic, but never took the flares off of my mom's verde to see what they are made of.

I can't vouch for the TS & Verde flares being different or the same, but I do know for a fact that the Verde flares are indeed plastic, not metal.

Tiaga,

Only EARLY US Verdes had the rounded flares, later ones had the flares with the flat edges. I think the changeover was mid-year 1988 build date. My '89 Verde (built 9/88) has the flat edged flares and the later style front grille.

Yeah, I noticed it when I was looking at the picture of your wheel you posted in the suspension section. My mom's verde (it's not really a verde anymore... has ALL the mechanical parts transplanted from an S.Z.) is indeed M.Y. 87.
