I know the color is off but I plan on polishing the car maybe ill get it close. Either way looks better than mismatching colors.

Alex, I have yet to see an 8G rear bumper fully match the rest of the body, so I'd say you're good lol. Both of mine didnt match:

My old G:

My current one (not as bad, but still off)

That makes me feel a lil better lol but I painted the JDM bumper last month so its a fresh paint vs my old 12 yrs old paint on the car.

Its been 4 years since the car was one color and I'm happy it's one color again.

You can almost never color mach the bumper and the body of the car. The plastic of the bumper takes the color different than the metal.

It seems so. In the following pic of my old G every panel you see except the roof and passenger side front fender got repainted at the same time due to an accident I had, and you can see the difference really well:

If you remember this tutorial:

Well these are the Newly improved rear tow arms. No more washers to make up for the difference in sizes. These have Prothane inserts made for our cars.

Yeap. Even if u use the same paint at the moment. It just how the metal and plastic absorb the paint

I can attest to this, back when I rebuilt the front of my car, the guy that painted it, 'blended' (well, more delibrate and precise overspray) the paint going on the new hood and the sanded OE bumper with all of the surronding body panels so it would look correct

Ill chime in. Those are dodge intrepid rear toe arms. They r from the second Gen but they came in 3 different length. Make sure u get the longest one which is about 10" or so.

The threaded piece in the middle is from the same car as well its a whole assembly. Then u just added a front outer tie rod to the other end. Gonna confirm whether 7g and 8g outer tie rods are the same or not soon.

He added 2g prothan bushings which eliminated the need to use washers as spacers.

Ill be hitting the junkyard soon to get those myself.

Thanks. but unlike you i cant just hit the junkyard dodge interpid is a rather rare car here i think manly because its probably a shity car.. same reason i haven't found a 5spd for my G yet very few american cars here and even fewer come 5spd. Although i have seen some Hyundai sonota 2.4l 5spd witch i think is the same. but i have not seen any being scraped. those dimensions really help if i ware to make one of those things.

Sonata 5spd tranny is different iirc. Ill get u dimensions for those toe arms soon. I tried looking at rockauto but no dimensions listed.

Nothing but realize I blew my drivers rear strut and set off the service engine soon light out the blue later on, and consider putting stock suspension back on because A. My gr-2's aren't even a year old and I blew one B. I have a v6 and I'm tired of the shakes under acceleration from being lowere

Well, I didnt buy anything new today. But i did sell my Mirage. It really sucks but it was needing too much work and was going to end up costing way too much. So i sold it and banked the money and hopefully by the end of December ill be able to post some new pics of what im hoping to buy. lol
