Default Aristo Bumper

I have a Aristo bumper i wanna install on my 95GS but theres one problem. I got the bumper without the bumper support. Does it still bolt on without the bumper support or can something be fabricated to support the bumper. I know the stock one on mine doesnt work. (I think) Any feed back would help. Thanks.

It should still bolt right up without the bumper support but I dont recommend it.

Heres a write up I made on how to install an aristo bumper, hope this helps.

That writeup is how to install an Aristo bumper support. So if you didn't get that with your bumper it seems you'll have to run without. I also didn't receive a "crash bar" with mine so I recommend not crashing.

The Aristo bumper will bolt on without the support. The USDM support is thicker. A few people have run without the support/crash bar, but if you end up in a front end wreck hope and pray its very minor.

That's what intercoolers are for. Just bolt it up where the crash bar goes and let it take the hit Lol.

Nothing wrong with that. I've been building racecars for close to 16yrs now so I have an issue with wanting more power Lol. I do like the cruising and looking good part I just want to spank some M5s.
