GD Jdm type S bumpers info
I need some info on running the jdm bumpers on my US model GD fit.
Exactly what do I need to use the jdm type S front bumper are the fenders the same as US models and the head lights. And do any one have a link on getting a set shipped |

Headlights, fenders, rebar (if you wanna run the tow hook you need jdm rebar or you can just get it modified by a welder or body shop) Bumper, Hood and lastly you must relocate the hood latch. Back. shorten rebar, bumper. i got all my parts off of ebay. |

I have some photos of the process in the thread above when I did my swap. Just another thought regarding the hood - if you buy an aftermarket hood like J's Racing or from another company, you could always just skip relocating the hood latch and run hood pins instead. |
how much of a pain was moving the latch? would it be worth finding a JDM upper rad support as well?

rebar? what are you talking about? in place of the 5 mile per hour bumper perhaps? I have a jdm bumper as well I plan to install but I plan to adapt "if possible" the bumper doing fiber glass mods at least I hope to. I would like to see your cars front end to see the differences you had to make.
