Protege5/MSP Front bumper conversion

[Jperera]

Just wondering if the protege5/msp bumper conversion on a 02 sedan is straight bolt on or if any other mods needs to be done??


Thanks

IIRC the bumper wii fit but you might need the reinforcement from the msp/p5 though. as fas as the bumper it should bolt right up

I'm getting a used bumper w/ lip, rebar and absorber... anything else I need to complete the front end conversion? aside from fogs...

This is what I was quoted from the yard... Isn't the rebar and absorber the same thing?

not sure on that but im sure it is though

The upper grille wont fit correctly either.
You can trim your bumper reinforcement to fit, so the p5 one isnt a must. Fenderliners are to narrow also but can be used with some zipties.

The front bumper/ reinforcement bar and grill. Also the plastic splash guards are diffrent but if you are not that worried about it just zip tie the front hole up. Only 1 hole per side does not line up IIRC. It was a long time ago when I did mine.

Damn Mbrace_24 beat me to it........

How much do I have to take off my sedan rebar to make it fit? Yeah I figured about the fender liner but it should be good with some zip ties...
