New RE front bumper and light conversion

This is just a mock fit and it is not bolted down yet because I still need to install my TII but here are some quick pics

it is a RE 2000 front bumper and they are a crazy light kit from japan they are cheaper then HID's but are brighter and yes this is a genuine RE front bumper not a cheap knock off

and BTW ernie your car is amazing I can't wait to get my hands on an FD

honestly this is the best fitting front bumper I have ever seen lol and the lights are mounted in the bumper it self. the only issue I have with it so far is when I was talking the old bumper off one of the bolts holding the old one on rounded out and I had no way to cut it so I bent a small piece of the fender so it is not "perfect" but I might just get the 20mm overfenders that are in the groupbuy section. it is a great looking frontend looks amazing in person I will keep posting more pics of my build as I go along

Nah, dont do that. drill that bitch out! thats way too nice of a kit to half *** it just cause of a stripped bolt! Put in the time and do it right bro, it will be worth it!!!!
I'm telling you, if i had been able to hold on to my FC thats the kit I would have put on it! SEXY *** FC almost one of kind...
I've only seen one other FC with this kit on it and it was jus the bumper.

Looking forward to rotorfest or whatever it will be next year!!!!!!!!!

lol no worries I am deff going to put time and hard work into this car but I really want to get flared front and rear fenders just a little flare not huge and I like flares over rolling looks way way better. it is not the fact the bolt is stuck in the fneder when I pulled the old bumper off the bolt bent a part of the fender that is pushing the bumper that is why is is not lined up "perfect" if I could fix the bend I would but where it is it would be a hard repair and a pain on top of it all.
