don't forget side skirts and rear apron skirts. i think it'll look great!

also i don't know if the liberal grill will go well w/ that bumper since it is so clean. the liberal grill looks better on bulkier busier bumpers. if you could find another one, even the stock JDM VRG grill, i think that would go better but that's just me i guess. this would look way better

the last bumper you posted, the white one, its the 96 style VR4, I have that, and i fit my intercooler and pipes fine, I trimmed the back of the bumper where the fogs are a tiny bit like, 1/2" and you cant see if from the outside. Some of the JDM bumpers are shorter, front to back, like DANJ's VRM bumper is a short one, I dont think there is any way possible to fit an FMIC in there without hacking it up. You need to get a VRG bumper pic with a side shot to see how far it comes forward. Also just to remind you, I dont have an A/C condensor or a power steering cooler in my car, the power steering cooler you can relocate, the A/C condensor you cant. I think if you have a 2 1/2" thick intercooler you should be able to keep the A/C condensor, mine is 3" im not sure if it would fit with that or not.

For the VR-G bumper, the rectangular fogs (in your first pic) will fit, but you can only use three of the four mounts in each fog bracket. You will have to cut or bend one of the bracket mounts.

For the projector style fogs, that I don't have any idea.

Oh by the way, you will need to take out the entire crash bar to make that VR-G bumper fit. There are four bolts holding it from the bottom side.

I hope this helps.

daym the whole crash bar? im not a big fan of that, do you think its possbile if we trim some of the ends off..or would i be good and get a custome crash bar made..I linked your pics you posted hope u dont mind? that way stewi can get an idea for pipeing fitting..

for the intercooler heres the mesurements..

is roughly 28" long x 6" tall x 3 1/2" thick

I think its better to get a custom crash bar made, the current crash bar metal is too thick, unless you have the right tools to trim it.

It's hard to tell if your intercooler will fit, it will be tight. But I think it will fit if you do some trimming on the bumper and on the car itself.

Post some pics when its all installed! https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

I was trying to find your other topic about installing the fog lights/brackets, but I realized that one was posted on the TGC Temp site.

Anyway, here are a few pics of my fog lights . Yeah, I finally got off my lazy butt and replaced the old oem bulbs with H3 (hid look) that you can buy off of ebay. Not bad in my opinion.
