Default How Hard Is This Swap?
Rear clip on an 89 LX. Got a chance to pick one up in great condition for cheap.

Are you talking about just the bumper cover and tail lights? or the entire 1/4 panels? 1/4's are very hard to do and require a ton of body work and a welder.

Everything. Had the feeling it would be a big ordeal, but thought I'd ask to be sure.

that doesnt appear to be an 89, although the pictures are pretty bad, it looks like theres louvers there which would mean 86 and older...
