Front or rear? I believe the rear supports are different between FWD and AWD models, and if I remember correctly the front support on the VR4 has two slots in it to let air pass through the support, I think they do bolt up the same though.

Yes the front support.
Who ever had my car cut the support in 1/2. No middle section for FMIC. I want to get another one and cut a U shape in it for better support of bumper.

I just looked at a FWD bumper this weekend. The center is solid and there are no foglight provisions but it looks like if you cut the center bottom out that it will work.

Vinny the bumpers are different and have you have to drill some holes to work. The white bumper from billy's car I brought back to the house from T's shop and it had been modded to fit the car but didn't have a front mount cause it wouldn't fit. The cover and support that went on that car have since been trashed . Best thing to do is just get some steel and weld it up in the center. On mine I hacked the cover and then the holes in the middle were cut straight across and I welded in some flat steel on the ends and areas that were open.
Next time you come up bring the car or bring the bumper ends and the usdm factory brackets, Mine are going to 14bcrazy, That way we can just mount on mine and weld in some steel. Oh steel bring some of that also. Box tubing, 4 pieces or round 1 inch or so , You got the idea.

Looks like a 93 USDM with the emblem hole filled /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

^correct. Filled the emblem with JB weld and sanded down then red primer then a coat of Green matches almost perfect. The emblem was from a Big body VR4 from Japan.

Didn't want to start a new thread so I figured I'd bump this one..
Can anyone confirm this? I'm in the same boat as the OP, my bumper support is hacked apart and I found a base galant (1992) at the junk yard and I was going to take the front bumper support however I wasn't sure if it will fit. I will be modding it to fit around a smaller FMIC that I have.
