Hi all,
I cannot for some reason find any info on this at all. Does anyone know of a company that makes front bash bar that will fit the rocket bunny bumper for s13 Silvia?

Well I mainly want it for bumper support since the bunny bumper fiber glass and I'm not one of the people that use zipties to hold them on and drift their cars and slam into other people I would basically use it and make tabs to hold the bumper on.

You don't need a bash bar to mount a bumper with out sagging

I'm not talking about sagging. I'm talking about the oem bumper hasmounting points on the oem crash beam. I want to do something similar to that with a bash bar

So it can shatter the second you bump something instead of it just popping off? You dont hard mount fiberglass for a reason.

Then how do you mount it? This is my first kit trying to install.

So you don't run a hacked up structurally compromised factory bash bar that interrupts cooling to intercooler/radiator?

You mount fiberglass rigidly so your panel fitment is correct and doesn't look like dog shit. If your bumper JDM pops off while you JDM™ slide the fiberglass is probably going to get fucked up and need repair when it mad tight detatches on one side and whips into whatever clipping point is there or gets run over. A, and i dare say, "proper" ziptie will rip through any off the shelf shit fiberglass mounting hole anyway.
I don't really have a problem with shit being zip-tied. Just 99% of the time it's done in the most mindless fashion with ZERO forethought and exceptionally poor execution.

I just really don't want ugly gaps in between the bumper and fender/lights. Most everyone I see with a bunny kit has it on pretty tight or so it looks.

Make brackets to fix sag?

Do you think the aero catch 3 latches would work of I out those on the sides? They look pretty nice to me
