We completed my frontend conversion on the S13 today. My question is for those who have done a conversion. We had to remove the USDM front bumper brace to get the JDM bumper on. I did not get a JDM front bumper brace with my conversion. Should I track down a JDM bumper brace or will the bumper be fine without it. Take in mind that I plan to add an aftermarket bumper soon.

I know a lot of people with the same problem who have decided to run without a bumper support. I do not recommend doing this though, you will agree when you see pics of front end accidents without one. If you were to hit a pole without one at 10 mph, your radiator support is toast. Someone here had a pic of their 240 that hit a pole without one and it was not pretty. I'd say do your best to find one.

BTW Sil fronts are sick !!11

Yeah I'd suggest hunting one down as well.
