E30 Bumper

[mcrumble]

i just got it on tonight, that pic was taken with my BB. as for trimming, yes there was some to be done. if you look at a picture of a stock Imark theres fins or bracing in the mouth of the bumper. I cut all that out, because it sticks in too far where my intercooler would sit. so i just removed it. there was some trimming to do on the inside of the bumper to make the stock 323 rebar to work, not much though. you just need a zipcut or a 90deg grinder with cutoff wheel. also, if anyone has taken their 323 bumper skin off, you would have noticed a black metal trimming underneath the bumper rebar itself. that has to be removed, which entails taking the actual bumper rebar out, which is a pain because almost all of the bolts that hold the bumper on broke. otherwise, if it wasnt for mounting of a frontmount intercooler, there would be very minimal trimming. the bumper is just placed on right now, it actually isnt secured. tuesday ill take some more detailed pictures about everything i did to mount the bumper, as well as some side shots. all the fender lines lineup VERY well. It was nighttime by the time i was done, otherwise i would have taken more pics, but my other gtx was sitting too close to it to get a nice side picture. Tuesday i promise

i think i may have trimmed out a little too much tho.
i would like to see the inner skin of your just to double check

Alright, so i got the bumper all mounted up.

Final Product.


This is the metal trim under the BF bumper you have to remove that i was talking about earlier


This is the inside of the bumper. You can see the scoop area that i cut out. It used to come out very far, so i just trimmed it off. And you can see a little above that there was a lip where the isuzu rebar used to sit on, since the 323 rebar is much thicker/taller, you have to trim it out.


Final fit

looks great ... almost like it was a stock option . Now watch everyone head out to the auto wreckers and scoop up all the I-Mark bumpers :0)
