I don't have a pic of them.
Only the US HF model uses that piece to support the radiator, and only on one side.
That piece is used to close the hood.
The JDM one has an opening for the stock air intake on the passenger side .
You can use the US "radiator support" with the JDM front end.
All you need to do is move the latch on the hood 1/2 inch backards towards the windshield.

OK, let me make this simple.
You only need the JDm radiator support if you are using a JDM SiR hood.
If you cannot get a JDM radiator support, you can use the US radiator support by moving the latch under the hood backwards 1/2 inch.
The bumper support you are talking about goes INSIDE the bumper.
The US DX and SI use a heavy stamped steel bumper support.
The HF uses a lighter bumper support.
None of the US BUMPER supports work with the JDM bumper cover, which is the plastic thing you actually see and call a bumper. For the JDM bumper to work, you need the JDm bumper support which as far as I know, always comes with the bumper cover.
