R33 S2: Front Bumper Support Part Of Reo?

[Pattey21]

hey guys my front reo has been modified previosly to fit fmic. however i have no support on the bottom or sides of my front bumper. is this support seperate to the reo and its been removed on my car. or is it part of the reo and mine has simply.been hacked up.

cheers

there looks like theres nothing wrong with your reo bar, the front bumper on the sides screws up into the quarter panels, and there are no supports on the bottom, there is the plastic liner that screws into the bottom of the bar though, but not structural, the only bit that really needs to be modded for a fmic is the part where the core may hit it,

i have recently done my fmic so i sorta remember what it looks like

Sorry I meant to edit my first post, that is a pic i found. Mine only has the main metal reo, no side liner or plastic part in the middle. Did your originally have the lining and the plastic part under the main metal reo?

if that is your reo bar it looks uncut to me

i like most to fit an fmic had to cut little triangles out for each side of the core cause the reo bar wouldnt fit back on without,

the only other bits i had to cut is on the front bar, i had to cut the black plastic stuff thats in the large center hole and abit from the lower left and right duct under the fog lights

okay cool, just the sides of the front bumper seem so flimsy and unsupported

[MatthewT85]

yeah it kinda does but there are two screws on either side which screw them up into the quarter panels which holds it in place, and on the bottom side if you still have your splash gaurds, i think they are called will screw into the bottom of the bumper but i dont think that really matters too much its more connecting it to the reo and into the panels

It's surprising how much the bottom sides of the bumper tighten up when you screw the splash guards on.

Yeah thanks for your responses
