I originally purchased the 99 spec bumper from JT-imports first GB way back when. I had sold my OEM bumper but after the install I noticed it seemed different.

Thats when I realized I was missing the rubber trim that ran around the top edge of the bumper and the ones around the headlights. I purchased them and pop riveted them into place and thought all was good.

See here:



That's when jimlab brought to my attention that I was missing a bolt (bolt #1 in his pic) for the front bumper in this thread.

Searching through the parts fische, there is a support bar that helps sandwich the urethane lip with the aluminum/rubber edge trim.



The part number for the support bars are:
FD01-50-0KXA
FD01-50-0K0A
for the bolt: 9994-00-603B

If your missing any of the other trim, you can find the rest in the parts fische.

 

Do you think that most people are missing this support bar on either side? Did you just happen to lose the bolt #1 after you got rid of your OEM bumper skin, or is it one that was not necessary with the old OEM skin?

 

I'm not sure...when I got my bumper it didn't have ANY of the support braces nor that rubber weather stripping.

 

I swapped all of my 93 bumper stuff over to my 99 bumper and i am pretty sure it included those. I think, lol
