We decided that installing a cut/modified inner front bumper (OEM crashbar) was better than having nothing there at all. Trimmed for FMIC of course.

Which quality after market kits allow the use of the front bumper without looking like crap? The current one we got with the car never did look, or fit right without the bumper, and now fits and looks even worse.

We'd like to use the crashbar to help support the front bumper as well, since air pressure at higher speeds caused the front fenders to bend.

Thanks in advance for any help in choosing the right kit.

We note that at some point, someone had drilled hundreds of holes on all the body panels to fit an aero kit causing cracks in the fenders which we welded.

Looking for quality S13 aero for use with USDM crash bar please. Or do they even exist?

Rocket Bunny... USDM Bumper support is almost identical to the JDM 180sx support last I checked, IIRC it was just the foam that is different.

Thanks. After posting yesterday, I went out in the garage and put on my big boy pants and made the old fiberglass bumper fit. I'd already put 100 hours in it, fairing and fitting, but without the inner bumper. It looks better than it ever did and I didn't have to cut the inner bumper any more.

Now, we have to do the rear bumper. We'll check Rocket Bunny.

Note: the car before this one was a 180 in Japan, and my son commented that the 180 bumper required very little cutting to fit the FMIC, and that it was much thinner.

There is something a little different about it but I couldn't remember what it was, if its thinner that kind of does make sense with our safety laws being what they are over here. IMO the rocket bunny kits, even though expensive have to be some of the best looking and best quality kits around.
