I'd say use an "open mouth" grill instead, and the whole kit is money. fantastic! can't wait to see the final!

Crap.....okay, changed out the rear crash bar, and test fitted the JDM/OEM rear bumper.
I just got around to unwrapping the bumper when I noticed that it was a non-sport bumper.
So I tried it on anyway, and yup, it don't fit. The two lower mounts under the car don't line up.
The non-sport bumper is too high, so scratch fitting the Kenstyle rear valance till I get a JDM/OEM sport rear bumper.
Also, it looks like I'm going to need to get different front fender liners to make the Kenstyle front bumper lower mounts to work.
Geez, this JDM conversion is harder than I thought it was going to be......

not well.
i'm thinking of going with a knock-off kenstyle rear that will fit the usdm bumpers.
idk yet

 

[xDJ DUBx]

VERY sick. Don't go with knock off if you can afford it, JDM all the way!!!

Hi guys, I haven't updated this thread in a long time.
I recently finished my Authentic JDM Kenstyle conversion.
I also added a couple of other exterior JDM goodies too, like the Garage Vary roof spoiler.
I know there's a lot of you following my build, and I'm humbled by all of your support and words of encouragement for my efforts.

Here's some very recent pics of my Mazda 6 (Atenza) with the exterior fully built.
enjoy..........

......thanks again, and this build isn't over yet.........lol
