    How Do I Install JDM Front Rebar?

    More importantly what tools do i need to install? I can imagine it is pretty self explanatory when you're looking at it, just want to make sure i have the right tools while i have the bumper off :)

    remove the bolts, remove usdm rebar. Install jdm rebar and reuse existing bolts. Don't forget to reinstall the foam padding.

    You'll need an extension to reach the bolts.

    Approx. 10 minutes after you remove your bumper

    Toss the foam, JDM doesn't have it. How did you get it to fit anyway?

    I trimmed about an 1 inch from both sides maybe more if I remember correctly and then taped it to the jdm rebar. It fit fine with jdm bumper.

    Like everyone said your going to need an extension and I believe a 12 mm socket. It's pretty straight forward from there.

    the easiest way is to take a hammer to it. a hammer will fix anything and everything.

    more specifically how the hell do you get the bolt that on the underside of the headlight on if the bumper support it already on?
