I have a project doing exactly this right now. Waiting for parts but I ended up sanding the tabs down on the blank insert piece to allow it to "slide" in the space. I plan to add two led fog lights and use this location with the addition of something similar to this to allow for push button access. http://shop.nightflasherleds.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/p/u/pushbutton.jpg
I'll try and make a DIY once I have all the items and time to knock it out.
Does that hold true for the 3.0R bumpers for both markets? It looks like it'd fit without much hassle. I might have to be the guinea pig cause that's a nice addition to the bumper lines.
That is the stock USDM front end. The lip is the black part. If you have bad scuffs best to repaint it or perhaps a wrap? The JDM and USDM bumpers are different for our years you need basically the whole front of the JDM car. ValleyLegacy has/can get them but it's not cheap.
Is it normal for the trans to aggressively (not harshly) downshift upon hard braking? (Drive in S#) I have the rallitek trans mount bushing installed if that makes a difference. Trans and drivetrain were serviced like 5k ago.
Ebay Plate Bracket, few screws, paint, and done. Moved over now so the tow hook cover can come off but you get the idea. Much cheaper that the Grimmspeed option. Filled the holes with grommet plugs from hardware store.
