Kk well i currently have a 92 s13 fb and i love the front bumper on it. to me i think it looks real clean.
then a couple nights ago i purchased a 90 s13 fb but its a pignose. i would like to change it to a chuki bumper but is there anythign else i will need in order to do the swap? like different fenders perhaps?
i know its a nub question so dont bag and help :l101: lol

lets not turn this into a pignose vs chuki thread, we all know pignose bumpers are better.
all you need is the bumper, turn signals, and chuki fender extensions.

yeah at first i didnt like the pignose but the few days ive had the car im thinking bout either keeping it or doing a front end conversion.
but i do need a front right bumper as mine is dented and lower right part of front fender is pushed up a tiny bit :wtc:
thanks for the input tho. still debating what to do :confused:

all you need is the Chuki bumper and the fender add-ons you'll have to drill holes in your existing fenders, without the add-ons the bumper looks hella out of place.

I was told you need to swap a small harness. I forget what it was called. I'm actually doing the opposite, and swapping a pignose on my 93.

As said above, the bumper is a direct bolt-on for all US S13s. The bumper lights are different but the harness is the same. Get the lights with the bumper and they should be plug and play.
The only difference is chuki fenders have extensions to make them flushed with the larger chuki bumper. Not absolutely necessary but needed if you want to look flushed.

Incorrect. No harness is needed if you use stock lights. All harnesses for the lights are the same.

What about wiring up DTRL's (canadian chucki fog lights?) Are they also plug and play with the harnes? or would I have to do some splice and dicing?
Also, with the chucki fender extensions... isint it possible to just grab chucki fenders? Instead of drilling holes?

It depends. Some cars are pre-wired for DTRLs. For others, you'll have to wire them up yourself with a switch. DTRLs are slightly complicated if you want them to work like the factory.

Yes, it's ideal to find chuki fenders. They're plug and play.
