The best fix for the license plate hole issue mentioned above is available from Totsubo. (http://www.totsubomotorsports.com/TMS20060208b/Pages/Exterior_FLM.htm)

That's actually Heuburger selling on eBay.

They used to make a tilting one that is super rare.(http://www.totsubomotorsports.com/TMS20060208b/Pages/Exterior_FFLM.htm)

I haven't opened every box that was inside the biggest box but I should be able to use my USDM headlight brackets even if I don't have the JDM ones? I didn't think that the brackets were super necessary. Time to do more searching.

I'd give the brackets to you if bought the beam, and I'd sell you the beam/foam absorber for $80.

My JDM bumper actually came with a tilting bracket. I'll post a picture tomorrow when I install it.

I'll pass. I don't need any more extra parts hanging around. I know I already have a bumper beam and the foam. I saw that yesterday when I took the bumper out of the box and posed it. Thanks though.

Is it spring loaded like the Totsubo?

No its just a fixed angle one. I hadn't realized that Totsubo one was spring loaded so it tilted at certain speeds. Thats pretty nifty!

Any place that has anything available as a tilting solution?

Have a jdm plate sitting because I think it looks tacky with the grimmspeed relocation being too big

For my OBXT I used these adjustable mounts that attach to the underside of the lower grille opening (or wherever you want): http://www.skenedesign.com/FPBracket/index.shtml

You can set them to any angle you want, and since you mount them independently they can accomodate non-standard hole spacing of JDM-style plates.

I just used a set of washers and nuts.

Need to drill 2 new holes in the bracket for the license plate but I'm happy with how it looks!

I used this with mine. Still holding up pretty good

I have a spare complete A-C beam and new A-C headlight mounting brackets if you need them.

You have PM!

Used the same one but I didnt plan ahead so mid way through with the bumper off and car on the lift i was like crap, so took the M3 out and ran to autozone real quick. But the holes didnt line up so i just drilled through it.

Finally there she is! Looks great! Are you going to black out the chrome on that grill? I just broke my STI lip on a curb and need to fix it

Ive actually been scouring yahoo Japan for an OEM Subaru black chrome one. I don't want chrome to be flat black so I've gotta try to find another grille that has the black chrome to it.

Too much hotness in one picture!

I've seen a few of them on there from time to time but as far as I know the only OEM black version of that grill is from the S402 which means it will cost big bucks. There are a few Japanese companies that do retrofitted mesh grills for that bumper though. I'm trying to stay off that site so I don't buy everything I see.

LegacyKid on here actually has a black chrome honeycomb with a black and white badge grille and it doesn't have the s402 emblem on it. I'm just hoping that I'll be able to come across one. But I might have another option for another material on the grille surround.

Mind sharing the site Shogun?

You'll need to use a buying service, like Buyee, if you don't have friends or family in Japan.

Buyee or Japanparts.com purchase service.

If you browse on their, you can find some really cheap stuff. Shipping is usually the bulk of the price. My DS front fender was $65 but shipping ended up being $380

Ahhh ok been there done that. I was thinking some other website. Didnt think you were referencing there.

Anyhow got some goodies coming. Made a super low ball offer and they accepted it. Should be a month for some more jdm hotness, already shipped out this morning.

Liberal Albero JDM bumper and everything you need to make it work for $1300?
