ya mean high bean? yea it's tucked in... dunno why, bodyshop only replaced the upper radiator support, but i guess that mite have been it or not. the overall fitment of the kit was good, rear bumper snapped on perfectly as well as the side skirts. for some reason i had a slight problem with the front bumper. I talked to Steve (who got the kit for me) and we sent pictures to his guy in japan to talk to Vertex. Apparently since Steve isn't an authorized distributor, nothing could be done. I mean I kno i had bodywork done on the front end, but the bodyshop was confident that it was all back within spec because they tested with my stock bumper and everything lined up perfectly fine. So i don't kno... maybe they rushed my kit and screwd up the front. Overall, it's not that bad, so I'm' not complainin .... too much.... but overall I'm happy with it.

Yeah, I meant hi beam. I am not 100% sure but you could try different hi beams. I think the pre 96 and post 96 hi beams may be shaped slightly differently.

Lexant, do not worry as fitment like that is common with aftermarket full bumper replacements. I've seen Pat's JIC kit, and it has the gap under the the highbeams as well. I guess they just measured wrong.
or they left some room for error.

Either way, you've got the real kit, be proud.

yea, thanx. i'm pretty surprised at how much of a beating it has taken too. I kinda doubt it would still be intact if I got the VIS. I've taken this car to a mountain pass (Mt. Talm) at this low height and all i can say is, that this bumper has taken some major dips and scrappings and no cracks.
