Icon2 CRX Front bumper support not lining up? am i missing something?

Picked up a front bumper w/support for the 90 crx and im trying to figure out why this "flat piece" thats sticking out is holding me back..

i clearly see where the bolt lines up and where it "clips" to the square bracket.

i feel like im missing something or probaly have the wrong piece. cuz im about to break that "flat piece" off

90/91 front bumper support?

w/bumper.


any help would be great. thanks.

yea, the part on your car already is from an HF. the HF bumper support is thinner than the DX/Si one you tried to put on. i would keep them the way they are so in case you ever go with a jdm front or switch to an HF support you will have more protection than just the lightweight support.

i deliberately put them on my EF8 front end. the first pic is what you need to have for your bumper support to fit right.


a little ghetto for me to mount my fogs like that, i know but it will do for now.
