    IS this an 8G, and if so...

    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...
