just installed the jdm vents in my bumper, it took a lot of cutting and trimming of both, the vent and the bumper, its not perfect but it can happen, but will require a lot of work

I should ask him to make them look EXACTLY like the JDM ones? Actually, it does look amazing. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas to make them different. Like, only 3 parts separating instead of 4. Maybe that will be too complicating though...

 

looks good as-is i guess...JDM ones...(NOT my USDM ones im trying to get made)

abaig97, That looks great and essentially what I hope to replicate.

 

But, for those wondering, my post 197 shows the USDM opening with the USDM reflector vent removed. As you can see, it is bumper behind there with holes for the USDM reflector to screw into.

 

abaig97 had to cut the JDM vent AND dremel the opening of his USDM openings to make the vent fit.

 

My attempt is to make a completely plug and play vent. Unscrew USDM reflector, screw in JDM replica vent without having to modify anything so that it can be easily converted back to stock if necessary.

 

You CAN hack up your rear bumper but you will no longer be able to put the reflector back on.

 

And an update, I just sent out today: the vents to get scanned. I am hoping to make big progress in the next few months.

 

My engine just blew so hopefully you guys will allow me to make like $5 profit off each of these...anything would help my engine build lol

 

Thanks everyone for your continued support and patience. Oh, and I have to look into a vendor account because I see abaig97's thread got closed for being an un-authorized GB.

Did these ever get made? Any updates

Not yet but see attached. I need to start from scratch since my 3D scan was a part file so I could not modify it and edit it to make it USDM specific.

 

 

I hope to get a good prototype together before the end of the year.

 

And the second photo is a comparison of a JDM cut up into a USDM opening versus a JDM vent in a JDM bumper. I am trying to make a new one to fit the USDM opening and fit like OEM
