90 Bumper Support on a JDM 92-93 Bumper?

Just like the title says,
I just got a 92-93 JDM Front Bumper without the bumper support, so I used the support from my OEM 90-91 Front Bumper. At first, it seems to leave a gap between the two, but I managed to get all the screws in without force, and it stays pretty secure. I just want to know if anyone else tried this before, and is it safe? I don’t want to be driving around and it falls off of something DX

You can use a 90-91 support on a 92-93 bumper, I had that setup on my car for nearly 10yrs.

Okay thanks :smiley:

Be ready to modify the bumper a bit. Japan does not have the bumper crash ratings we do and it is likely you will need to modify a bit. I swapped to a JDM on my Impreza a long time ago and there was some cutting and trimming because the JDM “bumper” was little more than a sheet of metal the bumper cover hung on to.

It may not require modification… just be ready to work a little bit if it does.

The Impreza is a completely different thing. I actually have one. The JDM DA bumpers are exactly the same in regard to fitment. the bumper supports are different but they are interchangeable w/o modification.
