battelready Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I use this for both of my JDM swap. Cost like $10 from Autozone. Works wonders. http://contentinfo.autozone.com/znetcs/product-info/en/US/czr/79150/image/4/ Bought the same one but the holes didnt line up with the Sport Bumper. Its soft plastic so you can just drill it. I bought an auto be more involved in my uninvolvedness . 200k+ Club If you can't blind them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.

WRX USA Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 For all of our members with JDM Front Bumpers on their 05-09 Legacy vehicles, as you know the front license plate holes differ from our USDM Front bumpers. What bracket do you guys use? State of CA requires front plates so I need to find a bracket that will work with the JDM bumper and allow me to properly mount the license plate. Please chime in. This is what I use on my OBXT: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=132155492116&globalID=EBAY-US I have the tilting mount on my WRX. If you can find one of these, grab it!

Eliott Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Pardon my ignorance as I don't have time to read through this whole thread. But I haven't come across a solid answer. Will usdm face lift grill fit prefacelift jdm bumper? I installed this jdm 3.0r spec b bumper and I need a grill. I can source a usdm facelift grill locally for cheap and modify it if necessary. Just want to know my options before spending $$$ on a proper jdm grill. Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to know my options before spending $$$ on a proper jdm grill. Thanks guys I dont know for certain, but i know the 08-09 Front End Grilles were slightly taller and the JDM Honeycomb would fit with modification. However the 05-07 Grilles were shorter, so the JDM Honeycomb would not fit. So since you do have the JDM Bumper, im like 80% sure the 08-09 usdm grille would fit onto your JDM bumper.

(Not much help sorry) lol Thanks for chiming in! I've been reading about that compatibility note a lot so I'd assume there's a way to reverse it. Since I have the spec b bumper, there's an inch gap at the bottom so I believe the larger size facelift grill would fix that issue. I have a couple car shows coming up soon so if I can make a usdm one work that will be a lot quicker than waiting on shipping or spending the extra money for a proper jdm one.

Save your self the headache of having a hacked up grill and just get a JDM Grill. There so many options to choose when you have the JDM Bumper on. Just IMHO.

Who knows the quality of it. Although I've found that every aftermarket JDM Fender product or bumper is made from FRP so I don't know how to comment on the quality of JDM aftermarket body parts either. I guess it comes down to the production process? Who knows possibly DAMD, FUKUOKA EMOTION, and K2 also outsource their production to China?

But they were offering me a really good deal to bulk purchase off of alibaba.

I've heard a joke about Cusco and braces. If there are 2 bolts anywhere on your car, Cusco will make a brace you can put between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savethewagons Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hi everyone, I am in the process of getting my s402 front bumper installed and have been trying to figure out what to do with the license plate holes. Filling the holes isn't an option because the bumper comes with a rectangular bump out for the license plate to mount to. I have been looking at license plate delete kits from Perrin and grimmspeed, but I'm not sure which kits will mount nicely in the rectangular bump out on the bumper. Do any of my jdm folks have some advice on a kit to use? Thanks in advance, Brett Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
