SteveJ Posted June 21, 2018 Share #37 Posted June 21, 2018 Exactly how mine were packaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinc Posted June 23, 2018 Share #38 Posted June 23, 2018 Congrats. I will wait to see how yours fits before ordering. BTW- How did the $50 value go over at the border? Did you get hit with any import fees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jfa.series1 Posted June 23, 2018 Author Popular Post Share #39 Posted June 23, 2018 I'm declaring success! Here are my before and after pics. I've had the painted bumpers on for 7 years so it's going to be an adjustment to now seeing a bright finish. Overall, the fitment went very well. The arc on the center section is a perfect match with the rear valance. The body mount on the left end was welded a bit rearward but the bracket was easily adjusted. Here are significant things to note: The threaded fittings are all M10-1.5, a more coarse thread than OE. New bolts and nuts are required. The threaded fittings all have paint on them, need to cleaned and chased with tap and die. The carriage bolt kit does not contain lock washers. I'll give the vendor some feedback on that. Next up is installing my JDM front bumper to complete the transition to "Oh, Shiney"! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG improvement in my opinion, looks great! And thank you for calling them JDM bumpers (much more suitable) and not Euro bumpers as most people do, even shops like The zstore calls them that, they should know better.

charliekwin Posted June 23, 2018 Share #44 Posted June 23, 2018 Looks great. Thanks for being the guinea pig! I'll need a set of bumpers sooner rather than later, and the rare ones that pop up on Craigslist are usually in rough shape and still pretty expensive, so this is looking like the best bet right now.

siteunseen Posted June 23, 2018 Share #45 Posted June 23, 2018 Futofab.com treated me good. Zero problems so far and it lives in a humidor. They came from Vietnam also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
