I believe chinkyy knows the bumper has to be a custom fit from a professional. I think that's why he/she said specifically, how much will it cost to "custom fit a JDM front bumper to fit the USDM body?".

the bumper needs to be widened & lengthened, I would say with the amount of work & paint itll easily cost you +-$1000. Not worth it

I know what she said..maybe i didnt use correct grammer or i wrote it wrong..Once again sorry to spam or waste ur thread..Think of it as a bump? lol. I was asking..Do u really have to customise a jdm bumper to fit on american fits? Costing for money and what not..You cant jus slap it on like a regular bumper?

there are threads that say what u need to do with a jdm conversion for the gd.

jdm and usdm bumpers are different. you cant just slap on a jdm bumper on a usdm front end, you need to basically swap everything over if u want to do a conversion, think dc2 front end, new headlights, new hood, new fenders, rad support, and and any other support parts.

well TJIN did a jdm bumper with a US front end, so it is possible.. just gotta combine bumpers or something. hondafittuner.com has jdm style bodykits that will fit with US front too
