Re: Front Facia\'s..........

If your 93 had no antenna, the facia should be the same as a 94-95 facia. If the 93 has an antenna, your car is more like a 92. The bodies were tweeked during the 93 model year run. There were many problems with the hood, and while they were addressing that issue, several other changes were made. They made about 1050 93 Vipers and I beleive the changes occurred around #600.

The fascia itself *should* fit just fine. I do know that the bumper support itself, possibly the brackets that attach it to the frame, and/or the slotted plates at the front of the frame horns may have been changed during the model run.

I have a 93 #68 and with an antenna. I removed my fascia to fix the warping. I remember that you need those plastic push rivets, 11 of them. They are black and the size of a 25c coin. As long as the holes align, no prob. Tell us how it goes!

Re: Front Facia\'s..........

'93 and '94 fascias should be exactly the same. In '95 (+/-) there was a change to the running light mounts. It is tough to get early running lights to go with the early fascias. The inner structure (bumper, for lack of a better term) went from aluminum to fiberglass, but this did not change the front facia mounting.

One minor addition was a styrofoam support so the "bulls-eye" to minimize sagging of the horizontal bar. It needed more tape to work properly, but it helped.

I'm having a '97 fascia on my '94, so far no problems.
