would this bumper fit on a US spec 8G...? I love the grill on that thing, and the chin spoiler makes all the difference in the world...!

I really doubt it without modifications...I believe that's one of the JDM bumpers. I wanted to get one, but I didn't know where to get a grille and how to get them to fit on USDM models.

umm... the lip would have to be customized but that shouldn't be too bad. as for the bumper... same as putting on a kit w/ custom mounting points and some filling. the grill will be about 2 inches too narrow for US spec and will not clip in directly unless you have the JDM lights which it clips to (US spec clips at all points to the metal behind the grill, JDM clips to the metal and headlights w/ a few modifications including cutting a new monting hole in for the lower center clip). i have the same grill in gunmetal chrome.

lip won't be that easy to install either. besides the jdm bumper having a different contour than the us spec, the overall length is different it either like a inch too shor or too big something like that. i think short and yea you got to mod up the lip to do that

I'd have to say it looks rather like the uk spec VR4, but then again i think the UK spec Sports kit is better...

Either consumers are able to pay for it there or those cars are still profitable to sell with all those features put in b/c of exchange rate or something.

Isn't the first pic the same one that DangerDan is getting through Ebodykit for $500? Check his post on this cuz I think it is. To answer the question on why JDM galants are soo much nicer than ours. It's simple, they like to keep all of the good cars to themselves! Once and awhile they throw us a bone with the watered down versions. I wish I lived overseas just for the cars!

Actually, it is just about the same thing. The only difference is the fog light holes and the bottom edge seems a little thicker, but what would be so hard about getting that bumper to fit the U.S. spec? It's just like trying to get the Erebuni front ends to fit. If you got the bumper from that red Galant, then you could get that lip.

VR-4 front bumper

VR-M front bumper

The VR-M bumpers are the ones that www.ebodykit.com sells and the kit that I'm getting, but they list it as a VR-4 kit. I'm almost positive that it is from a VR-M instead.

No the one David and I are getting is a little different, the original pic on there site was that style. Now its a little different, but I like the new one better. Hey David any word on your kit?

Any day now and I should have it. The kit was already shipped out from Cali, but I have no idea how long it will take to get to me in New York.
