does anyone have any pictures of how these molded side panels on the late 80 series attach to the vehicle?
i have a JDM bumper which is supposedly an "early" bumper that fits the no fender flare vehicles and i've been trying to fit it up in my vehicle (97 LX).
i have all the take off parts from my original bumper but i don't have the bumper itself or the molder side panels.
so attached are pictures of me trying to fit up the older bumper in my newer rig. i did not use ehe sort of snout nosed adapter piece because it didn't seem like there was enough room for it. also i am not entirely sure what it does to be honest.
but you can see this existing attachment with the three screws doesn't seem close to anything in the truck. is there supposed to be some adapter piece here?
also what is this hat shaped piece in orange that came off my truck? is it used to attach the bumper to the truck?
i'm having a hard time seeing if this is going to work?
THANKS
