Default Jdm Bumper

I was wondering if anyone knew if the JDM front bumper will fit on the US gs300. There is one on EBAY and I want to start bidding. Thanks in advance!

The JDM bumper will fit the gs but you will have to trim or remove the crash bar in order for it to fit..And you never know who is bidding on the same items as you..

Yeah, exactly what johnee said. I personally wouldn't get the bumper unless you get a kit. The US bumper looks better since it doesn't have the two openings at the bottom.

i beg to differ... that jdm bumper looks way better than ours. However depending on how much $$$ it goes for a kit might be a better alternative. good luck bidding. I was going for that stb but its price is too high.

Good point about the "alternatives" . We'll see about that STB. Maybe I'll let the anonymous person on this board grab it
I'm for sure gonna keep bidding on that bumper though. Anyone wanna get into a bid war with me? j/p

That's just your opinion. It's like having a jdm bumper with no twin turbo, as is the purpose that the jdm bumper looks different than ours.

They are a bit shorter in the front..Which is why you would be required to trim or remove the crash bar..
