JDM Rear Bumper Lip on USDM Bumper

Hey
I just received my JDM Rear Bumper lip and I was wondering if anyone on here has installed it on the USDM rear bumper. Did you have to modify? Let me know
Thanks

i do believe you are going to have to chop the lip up for it to be able to fit the usdm bumper, but wait till EFLS/VtEC gets on here im pretty sure he has his on a usdm rear bumper and im sure he would be more then happy to share with you how he did it

i tried it and it wouldnt work or not a direct fit at least....here are pics.

I put the lip up to my bumper and and the small peice fits almost perfect. Maybe its the year of your car versus mine. The other side where the long piece goes does fit too big by about and inch.
EFLSVTEC you were not able to install it then?

I just had my car repainted with the usdm bumpers so i tried to simply transfer the lip...I ended up installing the jdm bumper and had it repainted again...just the bumpers, hehe.:flash:

Oh so you just put the JDM bumper on. Cool you have any pics of that rear bumper? Also where did you get your side skirts?

here ya go.http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid37/p18d00b59ac8739cf9eca2eb96cdc55ca/fd1d3e60.jpg

side skirts? local importer, bought for $150 (i think)...just got lucky because he doesnt usually get em and I kinda just stumbled upon them.

That looks very nice. Are you gonna get the mid wing for it? Like this one

thought about it, but unless they're the real mugen ones then I'll wait. I actually almost bought one on ebay for cheap like $45 plus shipping. I was the top bidder but the seller backed out at the last minute...what a creep, probably thought he'll get a lot of bids but didnt...I'm working on my suspension next. New energy bushings, rear sways and maybe new set of coilovers and shocks.

Oh god, i want your car!!!!!! I love that exhaust, i need to get it!!!! AAAHHH!!!!!!

you REALLY need to send me new pics. your car is looking H O T! :jump:

MyFirst4G, if you're serious about the exhaust, I might sell it soon. It's 2 inch diameter tubing and I need a 2 1/4 inch. I'll let it go for $350 shipped only on AF or you at least. Used it for 6 months. I believe they go for at least $475 plus tax and shipping if you find one.

Ami, I plan on taking new pics by end of the week and send em to you. I will clean and prep it for the carshow next weekend so that'll be a good time. BTW, finally brought the car home last night and managed to finish a tank of gas driving it around. I wanted to actually drive it last night but it was pouring rain out. I need at least 5 more tanks of gas to finish the break-in period. The motor runs sweet and smooth and very responsive. I'm almost tempted to floor the damn thing. Hit Vtec a couple of times and the new humm is a nice change from the LS. :flash:

mmmmm, sounds schweeeeet! i swear i'm gonna make it down soon for some of the shows. you and greg will have to get together and plan some 4th gen events. i don't want to jinx it...so i won't even go there. but lets just say i think the y8 finally wants to go for a trip.

Soon as the weather clears, I know I'd want to go somewhere too...It's really more fun driving this car especially with the new motor. I just also reregistered on SCCA for SoloII autocross this season. Street prepared class. Looks like I'm going back to racing!:flash:

I'd love to buy the exhaust, but i got a hook up here and i get it for 400 bucks, no tax, no shipping cause my boy works at a performance shop.... I'd buy yours, but i get a new one for cheaper, any ways, i am all outta loot, lol :D

Good enough...thought I'd offer it anyway. chat w/ you all later.
