Has anyone tried to fit any of the Kaaz Sport front bumper spoiler on a USDM bumper? Any pics or recommendations would help!!

reason is, because I already bought a new OEM bumper and it's too late to return. thanx!!

I KNOW the lip was designed for the JDM bumper and som mods will be required to make it look good, I just wanted to know if anyone has done it... I guess I'll be the guinea pig... ANYONE has specs and measurements of the JDM bumper? I heard the JDM bumper is shorter?! Or is it that the bumper reinforcement IS wider thus making the JDM bumper portrude out 2 in ( i think our gs300 where NOT to be equipped with intercoolers so the JDM reinforcement is skinier)? Anyone with info will be greatly appreciated!

Default Exclusive Aristo Lip

I found this lip made for the 1st Gen, and was wondering would this fit with minor fabrication?

By the time you pay to get the lip to fit your bumper it would of been easier and cheaper to get the aristo bumper..

That's the one I'm talking about. Now, the question is to NOT modify the bumper but to modify the spoiler. I think it's doable.
