Komeng Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Awesome conversion, really comes out well in your white GT (next you need JDM HID)! Congratulations, you are now a technical autority on JDM Bumper Conversions, and welcome to the world of Stubby Bumpers...

thatericguy Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 Thanks for all your props...Just really glad it came out as I had hoped. Hopefully, this will get vendors and others to start putting out better bumper setups now.. Recently, with a help of a few other legacygt.com members (KGreb/DM/NALegacy-for losing my screw jk!), I was able to get my specB suspension on as well. I will be posting some pictures with them on...but honestly the "drop" (if you can even call it that) is minimal, but Imma still post em when I get a chance to wash the car this week. That should do it for a while until I decide to move towards stage 2...but Im glad I got the car setup the way I've really wanted... Komeng: Thanks for your help as well! I am glad you were able to get a up close picture of that rear wagon exhaust piece that I needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLTek Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 thatericguy, I had to cut the bumper beam a bit more than what you did on the bottom as the fog light pockets are larger than on the spec.B, it was a bit of a pain either way Best PS PLTek,llc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmechanik Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Reading through looking for mods I came across this in search, is this bar what prevents most of the kits from fitting our US models? If so would altering this bar help the TommyKiara or the Gialla kit fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownBoy Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 That bumper beam is exactly what is keeping us from the TK and Gialla kits. If you do what Eric has done, which is hack off half of the bumper beam, you should be able to fit those JDM kits. Note that I say you SHOULD be able to..you can always be the guinea pig and try it out for the ones that are interested... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmechanik Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Well, when I get my insurance settlement I'll gladly be the guinea pig, after trolling this board all day looking at the LGT and what can be done, I'm going to purchase my LGT tomarrow. I did an internet search and the dealers around me don't have a black but they have two silver, I'm hoping i can find a black or have them order one, if not I'll grab the silver. I'm techniclly still under sponsorship from my car that was totalled out so I'd also be having very experienced people doing the body work, as for the kit I narrowed it down to the Hippo Sleek if I go Sedan and K2 if I get a wagon, as far as ordering them well, that'll be the hard part since both of their sites are in japaneese. I'll look forward to helping the US LGT owners with a styling solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatericguy Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 bass...glad to hear you will be trying one of those 2 kits...i definitely want to see one stateside. as for the bumper beams, under bumper infrastructure...it should all be the same for the most part. Just to reiterate, only the rear needs to have it cut in half, while the front beam is just a side trim. Hope it works out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desibeatz101 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Sorry for bumping an old thread, but is there a way to repost the pictures as these ones do not seem to work? I would really like to see this conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismoz Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yeah Spec B JDM bumper conversion kit just arrived to my house yesterday and I was looking for detailed walkthru, however, all the picture links are dead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
