ok, so im done with the install, but the front bumper doesnt feel very secure...suggestions? i didnt put the usdm foam back on because i dont think it fits, if im wrong, tell me. i bolted the bumper support up with all of the bolts, and tightened them accordingly...is this is regular problem for everyone?

the type r grill pulled the bumper up, but even with that on, it doesnt feel like its 100% stable.

 

hey take a picture of ur car

 

take a pic of ur car cuz i might get a jdm conversion too

 

Put the styrofoam(sp?) piece back in if it fits.

 

you made sure to get jdm front bumper support and core support right?

yeah i made sure to get both, and mount both correctly. i dunno, its stable enough, but it doesnt feel like the usdm one did. i dont think its going to fall off by any means, but i dont want to be in a situation where thats a possibility.


i post pics of it this evening in the appearance cosmetic section.

 

sounds like a bad conversion.

 

best bet is to post pics, did u bolt the 2 bolt on the bottom og the bumper to the bottom of rad support?

 

now did you attach the three bolts to the bumper support. its under the grille. its not really bolts. its one of those plastic pieces like the ones on your fender lining. or it could be that the rebar is really thin. instead like the usdm ones. beefy. check this thread out. .

if you look at the usdm front end and the jdm front end.... its like a totally different design how the bumper meets headlights. The jdm one is a little more flimsey than the usdm one but does your bumper move when you push on it or what?

 

hey what year is your car and do you still have the oem front bumper

no i remounted the radiator support and it took care of the problem...its a little less stable than the us one, but it is fairly sturdy.
