OK, so i just made a post about this on NASIOC, but thought i'd post it here too. Now I've been told there will be some minor fittment issues. Since I just killed my L bumper I figured now would be a good time to put the LGT bumper on.

Sooo.....what am I going to need to do.

BG Bumper Beam?
BG Bumper Foam?
BG Grille?
Any Cutting?
Different attachment points?
Different fasteners?

I reckon it'll bolt right up, so long as it's USDM -> USDM, not JDM -> USDM.

Here's what my GT looks like without a bumper:

That looks like what mine looked like with the bumper off my 96L (should be same as your 95). The girth of the bumper pad might be bigger, but I doubt it. I know the L beam doesn't fill the bumper completely.

no, I've got a regular L bumper. Wiscon mark should chime in soon, he was swapping an outback bumper, and I imagine its the same story there.

I guess I was wrong. It makes sense because you need to make room for the part of the bumper that drops down for the grill.

But if you don't use the GT grill, does it matter? (haven't read Nasioc thread).

The BG bumper doesn't fit the BKs too niceley, needs cutting around the headlights to fuit snugly. Also if you dont get yourself a grille for a BG GT bumper there will be a strange gap, its livable but not perfect. I had quite a hard time fitting it on :D, but it will fit. I also cut the holes bigger on the bottom lip of the GT bumper before i painted it all one colour.

let me know if you guys have more q's
