One can't make out the "enlarged aftermarket" front brakes too well either.

Maybe the guy that had it before just liked the front bumper. I like them myself. You get them on some V6 models.

There was an update in mid 97 when they changed ST-R's to the VR-4 style bumper. Viento 1.8 GDI's also had the PFL VR-4 bumper, all other non VR-4's had the style of bumper above.

well guys this is how i see it..

lets say it oringially had a vr4 bumper.. guy puts on adjustable coils... hits a speed bump a little to hard after slamming his car... ruins vr4bumper.. then replaces with new bumper which appears none vr4..

I did talk to the guy... it was on it when he got it.
