Default Gs300/Aristo bumper

I have Everything on the car except the Aristo front bumper I heard it’s smaller than the us version would I be able to switch out the crash bar to allow the bumper to be put on or would I need to replace the whole radiator support I have both just don’t have the time to weld everything back.

As far as I can tell, the crash bar is the same for both.

GS: 52611-30230 ABSORBER, FRONT BUMPER ENERGY JZS160,UZS161
Aristo: 52611-30230 ABSORBER, FRONT BUMPER ENERGY JZS16#

GS: 52131-30210 REINFORCEMENT, FRONT BUMPER JZS160,UZS161
Aristo: 52131-30210 REINFORCEMENT, FRONT BUMPER JZS16#

The upper bumper support also seems to be the same.

GS: 52029-30140 REINFORCEMENT SUB-ASSY, FRONT BUMPER, UPPER JZS160,UZS16#
Aristo: 52029-30140 REINFORCEMENT SUB-ASSY, FRONT BUMPER, UPPER JZS16#

Gotta love part numbers. I have better luck finding what will fit vehicles this way rather than a seller with a "year range" of fitments. If the numbers are the same, they should fit just fine.

Yea will do when I get home I tired measuring it they both look to be the same size one side will go in and it need like an extra inch or 2 to be able to go in even tried to reposition fenders but won’t fit.

Not sure whats going on with your car, but i just got done putting mine together without any issues. My GS had high right side deer hit damage, i used the upper right and center pieces of the rad support from an aristo cut and kept the drivers side and lower center sections/crash bar from the GS, the whole aristo front end (hood,fenders,headlights,bumper) bolted directly on without any modifications or fitment issues.

again, I replaced parts because they were smashed, not because i needed them to make it fit. the drivers side of my radiator support is original, passenger side has pieces spliced in from an aristo. they are the same. I retained my original crash bar/bumper reinforcement and used the aristo headlights, bumper, hood and fenders. its all the same stuff. Just minor wiring for the headlights.
