Now I need a license plate adapter. Any suggestions? Rear support is on as well. Needed to grind down the weld a little on the drivers side. That was preventing it from going into the tunnel. Passenger side slid in but the first threaded piece needed to be removed on both sides.

 

Need to do a lot more work on it now that it's back!

 

Headlights will be wired up shortly so there can be removed.

Autozone or amazon have this plastic mounting frame that is universal. Some of the holes will line up , if not you can always drill through the plastic bracket to make your own. I did this with my sports bumper.

I bought an auto be more involved in my uninvolvedness . 200k+ Club

Thanks for the info senpai

 

 

 

 

I'm not sure why exactly you ask... so i'm not 100% sure how to reply.

-JDM parts aren't OEM here in Canada

-Because what I specifically wanted wasn't locally available

 

I was dealing with one importer originally (the onle @famaya26 is talking about), and he imported for me exactly what I asked for. His communication was horrendous and he was an asshole. On top of that, his exporter from Japan screwed him, as well as a few other importers, on shipments and containers that were sitting at port in Japan for months on end. When my PayPal buyer protection was about to run out, after 8 months of bullshit after paying, after 3 months or more of bullshit trying to get the stuff ordered originally, I got my refund and told him I'd buy the goods if/when they ever landed. I never heard back.

One day on FB I came across the parts I had ordered up for sale and DM'ed the guy immediately saying I'd buy for asking price ASAP. I worked with the guy to make a deal and tried for 4 weeks to meet up at his convenience. I got fed up with his bullshit and drama and told him to get bent.

 

Gave up dealing with that twat, and talked to another local guy. Got my parts in 2 months.

 

 

 

Don't deal with Braden Roberts or EssexCountyJDM. You will regret it. I guarantee it.

(I'm not sure if they're publicly viewable threads for non-members of that forum, my apologies if they aren't)

 

Should'be been clearer sorry. I was just saying since I did everything myself. But famaya pointed out that a importer could bulk order and bring the price of shipping down . And that whole ordeal really sucks dude. I import a lot of stuff from overseas and ive burned many times as well and it just leaves you frustrated especially when you cant see the person thats dicking you.

Thanks I think WRXUSA just showed me the same thing. Thanks. Idk if it'll fit properly though since the Bumper doesn't have an area for the protrusions on the back.

As politely as I can say this, **** you.

 

I'm green with envy.

No problem man. With both importers I wasn't just importing a single bumper, they were both working at putting it in a container with other items. The overall cost was very very low, hence why I was okay waiting for this kind of deal.

I need to subscribe to this thread so you guys can tempt me to spend more money, and also motivate me to install that jdm rear bumper I've had in my garage for more than 6 months! :spin:

 

Installation sucks. Parts hoarding is where it's at. :cool:
