    This dude really need to learn and take better pics. First he showed us that stupid teaser, then he ask how to make the bumper flush when we cant even see the where he is talking.

    Dude are you scared of the camera or your car? Take some better pics so we can see what the hell you are talking about shm.

    Can't see the gap much on that pic, but I understand what you mean, that VRG bumper is very hard to line up and make it fit perfectly. I just let the shop do the fitment issues that I had since it was gonna be painted anyways. In your case, you might also need to get JDM heads, but it's hard to tell.

    BTW, that VRG bumper looks good on a black car. :)

    Welcome to the club! hehehe

    looks great on your car i miss that bumper on my old car, anyway i assume you removed the crashbar like the rest of us....i advise you strongly to have one welded to fit back there when i did it it only cost me like $50

    there were no gaps when i installed mine after i removed the crashbar to fit it, although when i installed it i already had jdm heads and the grill if you want to keep the top usdm i guess whatever gap you have you will have to live with

    better pics and closeups would definatelly help on better answers though to make it better

    Looks good... silly boy :smt011 You don't have to get JDM heads if you weren't planning on it, just get a body shop to fill the gap, probably would cost as much as getting the heads though

    I thought the same too until i saw how horrible my bumper fit with my USDM heads. The USDM heads are wider than the JDM heads.

    it wouldnt be so bad, just the US heads are smaller on teh corners

    When I get my bumper I'm just going to get the gap filled, no way am I giving up these projectors, lol. Maybe if I have the funds/time, I'll retrofit some TSX projectors into some JDMs. I still think a black car helps minimize/hide the gap a bit

    Thanks! I see that w/ the VRG usdm heads wont fit. The area where the fender and bumper meet has a gap..thats what I see. I wanted to go back to usdm heads, but now I see I cant do that w/ this front end. Thanks!
    Accident. Deemed Unfixable. Got a check for it.
