famaya26 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Nope, it won't. Unless it's JDM 08 grille, can be modified to fit Sent from my Xperia Z How much modification did you have to do for yours when you had the 3.0R JDM bumper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Catalyst. Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) If anyone needs a JDM Rev D- honeycomb grill, I have one I'll be selling. It might actually be Hanger's old one, as it has been modified for an earlier spec.B/3.0 style bumper. I have a GT JDM Rev A-C front bumper which has a smaller opening than the spec.B/3.0 bumpers do, so it won't fit mine. This will fit just like ynot87s in the picture above (post 773).

Hanger Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 How much modification did you have to do for yours when you had the 3.0R JDM bumper? Not much. All you have to do is drill the two mounting holes on the each side bigger ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Catalyst. Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Yes I like it. I couldn't pass it up, since it was already painted the right color. I swapped with SpecB-228 who posted above. Has the STi lip, and he included the beam, supports, fogs, and I sourced the original style grille. I'll be doing a full conversion to the MY06 Tuned by STi setup (still need wheels, rear wing, exhaust, rear bumper and badging) with my 06 spec.B, and repaint in the TSM. I like this bumper's simple lines and the bottom opening the best of the 3 options. As much as I like the spec.B front bumper, the GT one seems more rare here My spec.B [#163] Project Thread with Pictures Get CryoTuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCwagon Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 These items are in transit as well as a bumper beam and brackets. Sorry for the early post but I am excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nubie Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 So just an FYI for all that are looking to do the JDM swap. Ive seen lots of different "lists" of needed parts, and what USDM parts will work with what JDM. In my personal experience, I put mine together this week, ALL I absolutely needed was the JDM bumper and JDM grill. I shaved the bumper beam and my UDSM headlight brackets worked perfectly with my JDM bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Catalyst. Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 For early models (05-07 or Rev A-C), you do not need headlights for sure, (Rev D+ is another story with fenders and headlights required). The headlight brackets are slightly different (I got some JDM ones), but you can get the USDM ones to work as well. For my conversion I have the JDM beam, as well as the lower air dam brace which trims the radiator and provides support for the lower section of the bumper, as well as the JDM headlight brackets to eliminate some gaps left by the USDM brackets. I've been working with valleylegacy on procuring the rear bumper cover, bumper support, a sport mesh grill and some other JDM STi suspension goodies. Still have a few other items to scratch off the list to complete the conversion I'm working towards. My spec.B [#163] Project Thread with Pictures Get CryoTuned!

Nubie Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 What other JDM suspension stuff? I have some parts right now in Tokyo that are waiting to ship out to the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Catalyst. Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I'm going to get the STi pillow ball rear lower links (already have some earmarked for me), and the STi lower chassis brace when I locate one. Someday when I'm done with the exterior mods and paint work, I'll likely pursue the Bilstein BSS coil overs too. This is my inspiration... converting a USDM 06 spec.B to the AUDM 06 Tuned by STi as correctly as possible, but keep the USDM spec.B TSM paint color vs. BSM: My spec.B [#163] Project Thread with Pictures Get CryoTuned!
