hawk do you know anyone that can answer the bumper cover question? have one located at the parts reclamation center(previously known as "the junkyard) for $450 new is $1400 but it is for the base model

Your comment doesn't specify which bumper cover--front or rear. If it is the front, it may be a different part number, as the V's have different grilles than the base model.

If it is the front it should be the same as the grills are interchangeable, only the hoods are different.

Checked with the parts house, different part numbers for the front bumper cover for a "V" and the base model. The rears are the same part number. Not sure exactly what the difference is, though. But as Cubby said, it must have something lot do with the different grills on the "V" and the base.

Congrats on your new ride; these cars are a BLAST!!!

The difference is, the V model has a one piece mesh grill in the lower opening, the standard model has three parts in the lower grill. The grills are interchangeable both upper and lower. Hope this helps answer your question. Enjoy your new ride, I still love mine.
