2002 customizing tips and gross-out stories

	
HEY!! Knock off the gross car crash stories!!! Blair made a good point, now 
everyone else seems to want to top his story.  "Oh I saw a bus load of toddlers 
smash into a train and I called 911..." etc etc etc....  Yes there are certainly 
valuable tips to be learned from being thrown headlong into a tragedy, but how 
about sticking to the lessons, and not glorifying the tragedy.
	Now, I would like some tips.  I am planning on using chrome 
bumper-friendly front fenders on an otherwise big bumpered 74 2002.  This way I 
can place an older style front bumper on the car.  I think the 
newer-grille-with-older-bumper look is really nice.  However, to maintain 
symmetry, something must be done to the back bumper as well. My 2002 pal Tom 
Pappenhagen  suggested that I remove the bumper shocks on the rear bumper, flush 
mount the rear bumper to the rear panel, and basically weld it in place, thus 
moving the bumper much closer to the actual car.  This is most likely the path I 
will take, however, I am wondering if there are other possibilities, options 
suggestions?
	Second, has anyone managed to replace the four bolt wheel hubs on a 2002 
with five bolt wheel hubs?  Front's dont' seem like the transition would be 
extremely difficult, but rears???  Anyone?
