Default jdm bumper

Hi, I wanted to know if a Jdm stock bumper would fit? Or does it need some mod to make it fit?


thanks

You gonna get one? I was looking into that, too. If you find out let me know. I'm sure there are ways to make it fit if it doesn't just bolt right on, but I'm no expert.

LOL. We're all going to have the same front bumper again. Either of you two have silver cars? If I don't get the JDM front bumper I will still need a USDM one because mine is all scratched up. Like really bad.

i have white top silver bottom, it'll definately need a repaint though i don't reall care too much for the rear bumper though. I can't really tell to much of a difference. The front little add-on piece on the JDM one will compliment my fat *** drop though =)

JDM BUMPER

you guys have to remember that the jdm bumper will not perfectly fit on our gs here. you will need to do some major work by cutting both sides, shave or take some of the polyurethan material out, then put them together again with some type of adhesive that's is very, very strong or even use fiberglass resin. i dealt this type of problem cuz my bumper is jdm and i had to cut both sides and used fiberglass resin to pu them back. i used fiberglass cuz my bumper is fiberglass but for these bumpers on see on ebay, there are made by polyurethane.

if the auction price will end somewhat between 150-up, i would just get an aftermarket bumper w/o any hasles. just keep in mine that aristo jzs 147 in japan are much narrow compared to u.s. when it comes to bumper fitments. i even had to take out my re-inforcements for the front just for my bumper to fit.

hope that helps........good luck!

i think you also have to mod the aluminum reinforcement to make it fit.
