I wanted to know if anyone has pictures of what needs to be adjusted in order to install the replica front bumper? Also, any pictures would be greatly appreciated!

james, i think fish22 can help you. hes that guy with the lbp with a replica amuse front too. he said he had issues with the passenger side near the fender from what i remember.

 

yes you take off the bolts on the bottom of the bumper and the screws on the sides. then you put on the new bumper, align, and reinstall the hardware you removed.

 

ive had the e-autosport bumper since last summer. took a few weekends to get it about as right as possible for a FRP bumper.


basically the areas i circled all have to be trimmed. material in the sections that slide into the bumper clip have to be trimmed so it sits flush with the outter part of the fender. the inner parts by the headlights have to have some material removed underneath or its going press against the headlights causing it to flair up. this part is pretty hard. i was able to get the right side pretty good but the left side sticks up a little high. from my understanding a authentic amuse fits just as bad as this bumper but with time effort and a little work, it can be made to fit damn near perfect. theres another user on here with a silver S that had a body shop cut, mold, and resurfaced it to perfection. it fits flawless. i dont have that kind of money so i did the best i could with a dremel and some washers. all in all i'm happy with the way my bumper fits. its aftermarket so i dont expect it to be 100%. if you'd like me to try and explain it more i'll do my best. hope this was helpful.
