just a quick question for the jdm guru's w/ the jdm oem bumper do you need a re-bar to hold it up and if you do does need one does the stock one work...

Thanks

 

Man, what's wrong with yours?

 

i just got a real one that's all.... you know the story.

so if any one could just give me the answer that would be awesome.

 

You use the jdm bumper support.

 

sounds like Edmonton is being gh3y as usual.....

judging by the idiots who drive in the city...

I'd go as far as modifying the JDM bumper to accept the USDM rebar....

IMHO, it's just a bad idea to not have anything up front to begin with....

 

thank you for your opionion rage. but i just need to know could i run it without the re- bar. i know now that the usdm one doesn't work.

 

oh yea and edmontonions do drive like retards. but hey what can you do.

 

madx - I have a jdm re-bar, IM me for details.
The usdm one will not work with the jdm bumper

 

the usdm bumper support does work with a little modification to the jdm bumper. Looks the same. Someone in the ITR forum did a write up, but I forgot who.

 

jdmspoonitr is right. My car has the JDM Front with USDM Rad Suppt. Just make sure you have the bumper reinforcement.

 

As far as the bumper support I know that you can weld the USDM onto the jdm radiator support. But I believe that you do need to use the JDM radiator support (at least the top T section) when doing the conversion. If you use the full usdm radiator core, then the lock mechanism would point the wrong way.

 

sorry my bad... i should be more specific... i already have a jdm conversion.. just that my bumper that i currently have on is a fiberglass pos(long story). so now i have a real one... that is why i am wondering if i could do without a re-bar. i do have a usdm re-bar on right now.

Thanks

 

You can use the usdm bumper support with the jdm stock bumper. You will need to cut two small holes in the bumper for the usdm brackets . It still looks clean. I forgot who had the CW with jdm front and did the review of the installation of his usdm bumper support.
