JDM kouki rear bumper fitment - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I took my kouki rear bumper off today to try and put the jdm one on, see if it fits. Well, its a little off, Im wondering if anyone has a set method for making it fit, like where to trim the foam etc? Im assuming because of the bumper support foam. I tried searching, but I didn't find anything.

btw, im talkin about s14...

take some paint and put on the frame (part thats covered by foam) then mount it up remove the bumper where the paint is transferd shave it down

just cut off like 3" from the bottom up. All you have to do is look at the inside of the bumper then the foam support to get an idea. Took me about 45 seconds...

i didnt use the foam at all...haha

but like kouki ka-t said, just cut the foam down till it fits right. Shouldnt take you that long.

I heard if you dont' have the support, on low speed impacts, your bumper can get damaged more easily because the foam helps take impact/distribute force evenly, but thank you for your posts, i'll post pics when im done.
