I wanted to double check fitment before paint, and some peeps wanted too prolly see it full carbon so i snapped a bunch of pics. 12 total.

I had to cut some of my bumper grill. Very minor.. not noticeable. just took me awhile to figure that part out. On to the pics:mangel::mangel::mangel::mangel:

Hey I have this lip I was gonna retro it on a USDM bumper but I changed my mind. What year bumper is that? Hopefully if things go well I'm gonna retro it on a 02-03 jdm bumper that I'm trying to get. Looking good man not to many rocking that lip. I can't wait to get mine on.

04-05 ctr.. its a tight fit, but its meant for this bumper... you might have difficulty getting it to fit on 02-03. I've owned both ctr bumpers and they are different

Well how different are the bumpers? I know for the JDM 02-03 I have to cut alot off, reason I know is I chopped my USDM bumper because I was gonna retro fit it. Are the shapes similar like the sides of the bumpers? Is the upper grill are the same? I know the lower grill part isnt and that I would have to cut.

BaLisTek

there was a picture before the crash.. the lower grills are different, but if you wanna cut it all out.. you can try. I just can't see risking that on a 500 dollar bumper. Just buy 04-05 and it'll fit good

So just the lower grills are diffferent other than that the bumper shapes are the same? Reason why I ask is I might be getting a cheap 02-03 jdm bumper for a pretty good price and its already chopped up. Just trying to see whats best as far as the price. You're right about just getting the bummper then again 500 dollars is hard to dump on a bumper. We'll see what happens thanks for answering my questions.

if you get an cheap 02-03, I think you can get a replica mugen for them. the older (and sexier) style on ebay.co.uk for pretty cheap. I would rather do that if i were you as opposed to chopping up a perfectly good bumper.

Did this to just kinda have pics available for people interested in the future. I quickly threw everything on to snap a few pics. I must say i am getting dam fast at putting/removing the front bumper.

Here we are folks, last pics before painted. People can play with photoshop for partial paint ideas if they would like, although i think i will personally play it safe and paint the entire thing. My contributions:

you should leave the foglights and the grill c/f and paint teh rest white

so it looks sorta stock then when you get close it will be like god damn its carbon fiber

glad you painted it....how much was the lip? Being carbon and all? Looks like it fits about as good as the real one...but like i was asking in the other thread hows the mounting underneath the mugen came with the brakets and such...and the rubber gasket to go around the lip between the bumper and lip and i added the badge that the lip didnt come with
