Quick question. Im fitting my front bumper on which is actually a mugen but im assuming it will be supported the same way as stock or any other aftermarket. The bumper reinforcement bar shown below:



has little "tabs" on each side which you can see in that pic. Do you slide the bumper into the tab or sit it on top of the tab???

 

nevermind. theyre meant to be bent up so that the bumper sits flush to the bottom of the headlights

 

you are not supposed to bend them up. the bumper slides into them.

 

not according th mugen instructions.

 

oh well im pretty sure the stock bumper does. i dont know about mugen

this is true. the bumper slides into them not on top of them

 

stock. i figured out it was different for the mugen

 

 

probaby because mugen bumper is probably thicker so it mightve needed it to be bent up to fit in between

 

nah its not thicker, itll fit in there just fine. i believe its meant to sit on top for some reason, otherwise theres a large gap between the headlight and the bumper

 

That bumper support is height adjustable, you should be able to adjust the gap out. I have an OEM front bumper and had a large gap the first, I actually had to enlarge the slot in the bumper support to raise it high enough to get rid of the gap.

 

It will slide in between the metal fins....if there is a gap then adjust the bar with the tabs
