Dont know if its the right spot but i just need a straight up answer to finish my bodykit installation thanks...
Its an origin streamline kit for s14 zenki

When fitting the front bumper the mounting points dont line up because the back of the bumper seems to be hitting something, the bumper reinforcement. My question is do i have to sand of the back of the bumper? or do i have to modify the bumper reinforcementt? or remove the bumper reinforcement.

Sand this:

Remove or modify this:

Pics of it hitting:

Pic of the distance off:

Id like a straight up answer to finish my kit by today. thanks.

if i were you man i wouldnt even fux with the bumper support. Thats all safety stuff, why have a "jdm bumper" to look nice when if u get into a head on collision you might end up dead?

Take that bumper support off and have a bash bar fabricated. Thats what i would do.

i cut my rebar because of the bumper problem like you face and my intercooler wouldn't fit behind it. i took a cut-off wheel and cut the front bottom and rear off. idk if it's for a kouki or zenki but if it's for the kouki you will also have to cut the send the same way cause of the turns.
