93 Bumper Support w/ 99 Bumper

I have a 93 bumper support with a 99 bumper. I was wondering if the other people that have dones this had any problem getting the bumper over the support. Specifically the center where the bumper bolts to the rad support. On mine it seems to be a bit tight over the front to get the vent below the rad support. Almost as if I need to trim the top corner of the beam. Anyone had these problems?

Thanks

please excuse ^^^^

Yes, you can modify the stock rebar for the 99 spec front bumper, all you have to do is make enough clearance for the 99 spec turn signals. After the bumper is installed, spray some foam between the rebar and bumper to prevent sagging.

I already have fitted the bumper with the stock rebar and modified openings for the lights. It just seems tight going over the bumper. So I thought I would check if people modified more than just the turn signal lights.

Do you re-use the three styrofoam support pieces under the middle section of the bumper skin and use spray foam in addition to that?

Yes, you should re-use the three white OEM styrofoam pieces and spray extra foam for more support. What are you retarded or something?

I never shaved anything, I have the 99 rebar. Go fix your low compression motor.
