I just received my Varis Arrising 2 front bumper from x350Zx, no install instructions with this piece, the sides should be here this week sometime. Is the install straight forward once i remove the stock bumper, or what things should i look for, clips, bolts??? Should i paint everything before or after the install, this is my first install for a body kit. (is there a link to an install for help?) i did a search but didn't find anything, any help would be much appreciated. Thanx

Do a test fit before you paint. Just take out the OEM bumper and put on your new bumper. Hopefully the fitment is GOOD or you will have to bring to your local bodyshop to modify it.

 

Number 1 rule. Do a test fit. You can drive around with the new unpainted bumper for a few days if you dont feel like taking it back off the same day. EDIT = As long as it wont ruin your ego or cramp your style

 

i agree with the test fit, but as for driving around with it unpainted...

zipties save lives...just remember that when mounting your bumper...every aftermarket even my stock bumper was held on by zipties...i daily my car 40 miles day...hit all kinds of bumps...have travelled at over 100mph+ it holds up fine...the reason why i say use zipties...say u hit a curb or ur lose control and find yourself spinning at a curb...your bumper makes contact first the and the zipties snap off and absorbs some of the impact...this way less damage happens to your bumper...a lot of drifters use this because we love curb love lol...its up to you tho...

 

: Probably something you want to do on a beaten up drifter like an S14. I did this to my POS Sileighty years ago.
Not something you do a new car. but its up to you...
