Default Aristo Front Bumper Swap?

I want to swap the JDM JZS147 Aristo front onto my car. I have found a good deal on the front bumper and fog lights. My question is will I need more parts to complete the swap or is it just a straight swap? Thanks for any info!!

Can anyone confirm what I will need for the Aristo Front Bumper swap?

I'm pretty sure you will need the metal bumper reinforcement and foam.

edit: You might be able to trim your usdm foam piece. Maybe someone that has done the swap can confirm though.

Try this ^, I think it will work and you can shave the USDM bumper support as well. For myself, I use my FMIC and custom brackets as mounts, so I have no problem. But, I do have a JDM bumper support and foam set aside from the front clip I bought years ago just in case I need in it in the future.
