I just got my ViS Racing Invader kit.. I need to know how to modify the bumper brace (the aluminum bar) so that I can leave it on and put the bumper on too.. I have been riding around without it..and the handling isn't as good anymore.
PLEASE someone! Anyone! Help me! My car is getting painted saturday!
e-mail me....Lucky13racing2001@yahoo.com
Thanks!!

you can install the front bumper support with the vis invader front.. I have dont it and it took about 3 min to do.

there are two ways around this.

1: you can cut the corners of the brace at a 45degree angle.

2: you can make a small cut in the front of the kit where the driverside turn signal goes.. this is what I did and you cant notice it unless you are looking for it. I also modded my front opening to allow for my FMIC so that might of helped also but didnt really notice if it did or not.

I chose this route as I had powdercoated my front bumpersupport beam prior to doing this.. If I could redo it I would probably just cut the ends at an angle but thisway works just fine also.

here look - please pardon the dirt is been a while since I have needed to clean it biggrin.gif

the small notch under the turnsignal is the cut I had to make to make this fit.. and the turnsignal itself isnt mounted properly at the moment.. it is not a result of doing this with the front support beam.

here is a front shot of it also
