    the easiest way to *leagalize* a gtr or gtx is to just buy a us 323 of the same color and use it for your emissions and inspections. once passed, swap the license plates and the dash piece with the vin numbers....presto, a *legal* gtr...

      I second this, especially depending on the are. I could EASILY get away with doing this where I live.

                  i dont have anything behind mine in the rear because i cut it so far nothing will fit. i has half drunk when i did it and you can tell if you nitpick it. . . theres too much gap below the taillight garnish. . . im just going to get jap bumpers. . . they look better anyway.

                    i thought thats what it was from.
                    any pics of the front bumper with the lip, a close side shot would be great.
                    thanks

                      can anyone take some inside wheel well shots, how does the inner plastic stay on, as well as the mount holes not being there either?

                        same here. it'd look kinda bad with no inner lip. Also i would think it wouldnt be that stable at high speeds.

                            bring it back again.
                            well as some of you know i scored my 1st pro a awd 90, i have the j-spec front bumper in the basement that will go on, so cause im cheap i will try the rear bumper mod and if it looks good i will add spot for the rear lincense plate also, cause i have the familia rear garnish.
                            so anyone else try this, if so post those pics.
                            thanks
