Ok, so I installed my S13 frontend, however the middle part of the bumper, right under the headlights, is sagging. I'm curious if there is a bracket that goes there and if so does anyone know where to get it?

go buy strips of metal from lowes or something, like 1 inch wide 6 inches long and make "L" brackets from the bottom of the headlights to the bumper.

thats what we did on my friends 13.

should work fine for you

ehh, really didn't want to jimmy rig it.

That is not really jimmy rigging it. Your other option is to but a 30lb real bumper under it that is going to block your intercooler. That is what normally holds it up.

Im going to do something very similar very soon to mine. I think Im actually going to weld a small tab of aluminum to my intercooler to hold the bumper up in the middle.

are you talking about the healight bracket or the bumper support?
you can use the stock bumper reinforcement by redrilling the holes to make it fit.

I've got the headlight brackets that hold the headlight.

Is there a part where there should be a bracket that connects the bumper to the headlight support?

I've been looking for an FSM that has the S13 Silvia front, but haven't had luck so far.
