Default WTB - JDM front bumper

looking for a OEM Japan bumper in good condition, with whatever else I need to put it on my car?

can I just get the bumper and it will fit?

or do I need jdm bumper brackets too? jw because thats how it is on my ae86 corolla, I have the full JDM bumpers with JDM brackets.

There are 2 JDM bumpers on the worlds biggest auction site right now...price is around $100.

And no, it will not fit without modifications...Some have said you can shave the crash bar but others who have actually done the conversion said they removed the crash bar altogether.

i bought both front and rear crash bars w/foam. i've only installed the rears, my fiberglass bumper fit nice with the jdm crash bar+foam. the jdm bumpers are stubby and our usdm crash bars are too thick. you can completely remove the crash bar or try to source jdm ones.

so I can just take out the USDM crash bar and put the jdm one on?

I am running a jdm bumper and yes, you need to remove the usdm crash bar or get a jdm crashbar.
