JDM front bumper

[transparentdsm]

ok so you guys who have them, how did you mount it? mine does not just bolt right into place at all. do i possibly have a FWD non-turbo bumper/support and have to make what i have work? like with my rear bc it was a FWD not AWD.

Do you have the Curtis brackets?

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gifZip-ties and duct tape work well.

[transparentdsm]

Someone took angle iron for the front I got... But I won CurtisCo brackets years back that came into great use.

I have brackets if anyone needs them. Just send me a PM and they'll ship the same day or the next depending on when you send a PM.

I prefer Curtis brackets over the originals personally, because it makes the bumper sit flush against the valence instead of leaving a weird gap that is apparently factory.

 

[transparentdsm]

the brackets i made, don't leave a gap. or at least not a gap that i mind.

I think the no gap look looks like the car rear ended something. looks like the bumper is bent up.

with that said I think if you could modify the back tabs where the bumper screws to the fenders to remove the gap. it might look better.
