Just installed the JDM front bumper beam yesterday...
The 2 rear bolts from my car didnt fit so I needed to get 2 17mm bolts identical to the front ones. Other than that it was a breeze. The turn in response and mid corner balance is vastly improved Im glad to say. Have yet to see now how understeer will improve.
This came off...

Some more goodies waiting to install. All the other crap I ordered is on back order:
STI lateral links/trailing links
Cusco Camber plates
Once installed I get the car corner weighted and dial in some extra camber so I can get the most out of my Goodrich R1s

Because you can never have too much CF....
New Alt belt cover...
Bakemono CF mirrors install:
To make these work I needed to do a bit of surgery.
I popped off the driver's side mirror using a flat head making sure not to scratch the back of the mirror.
I needed to dremel out about a 1/4in of the inner housing to get the mirror to move to the left at all. You can see a flat edge highlighted showing the amount of material shaved. then I just sprayed the housing Gloss Black after test fitting the mirror 1 final time
I made a small shim stack out of 2 washers just to get some extra outward angle.
Lastly I used some foam adhesive weather strip to keep a good seal and popped a bumper retainer clip in the forward bolt hole that is unused with the Bakemono mirrors
Although not pictured I needed to dremel out a notch to accomodate the door weatherstrip on the Passenger side. The driver's side had a notch already....
The end result...
Cant really see from this pic but I can see clear across the median to the other side on the road.
