thats a damn good deal...try jdmspecperf.com for the fender.. Leo is awesome, i got my fenders from him. great service. fair price:D

as far as the front bumper, you can find them on ebay or in clasifieds just shop wisely

but do u necessarily need the bumper support? i was never under the impression is was anydiff than the us spec one. r u missing your, is that why u need one?

does anyone know if you can use the stock reinforcement bumper support for the silvia front end? i just assumed and have never heard anyone mentioning it b4. sounds dumb, but it kinda alarmed me.

I have a silvia face on my car, and YES you DO need the bumper support, and the light mounting brackets...or else they won't mount up correctly...

(From Kevin: Another obvious difference is fitment of aftermarket intercooler kits. In JDM land, no cutting of the bumper support is necessary, while it is necessary to do so to a US bumper support. This main difference is due to the fact that US requires 5mph bumpers, while JDM land does not. US bumper support might work with heavy modification, but don't count on it.)

US bumper support will work but you need to do some trimming to get the turn signals to fit. I had to trim the top of my bumper support to get my old aero bumper to fit.

Like meph said If you want to fit a intercooler behind the support you can forget about it, unless you chop the middle of the support off.

wow! i am totally appauled. i've never heard this b4. when people buy the silvia front ends they never come with the bumper support. that blows.

is it going to fit really akward unlss i trim the bumper support. i guess ill prolly have to trim. that sux!
why havent i heard this b4?

question to everyone
how many people with silvia front ends used the usdm bumper support and how many used the JDm bumper support?
