i was thinking. if i take the grill out and leave it out until i can custom make one can i put the front bumper from the escort on. i know the hump will come up the middle but will it hit the headlights? and will it line up with fenders and bottom of headlights? is there any modification that needs to be done to make the scort bumper fit nice?

oh i waas thinking. changing to slant headlights with the 94 hood should fill the gap a little more where the hump comes up so not having a grill might accualy look ok.1993 Protege LX-Midnight's shadow SOLD

sounds like a good plan. i think you could cut into the fiberglass of the bumper a little if necessary for your lights to clear the bump.91 Protege LX ---> cardomain site

ok the escort bumpers fits. The bump in the sccort bumper fits between the head lights because the protege has a larger grill then the scort. the 94 style hood and lights is a good idea. unless the hole is still too big. but even then a small stylish filler peice would be easy to make out of fiberglass.

The escort gt bumper will fit yes, someone here had one on their 1st gen. I had suggested to Chad to just use a 94 hood also, I think it would work, Im not sure how far up the hump on the bumper goes though - Im guessing there will be a small gap between the bumper and hood though. There is no real way of knowing until someone trys it.2013 Dodge Dart Aero

i still think you could just cut it off, unless it just an empty hole once you do.91 Protege LX ---> cardomain site
