wow the fitments pretty good
I bought a vis bumper for my s2k long time ago, the fitment was pure crap, exchanged it 3 times and all 3 didn't fit.

It's uneven because he has no grille or mesh. Even the oem bumper sags without the grille. It looks really good for the price haha

sorry the grill does not support the bumper in any way. it bolts to the metal "frame" under the bumper skin. and im sure that this guy attached the frame his new bumper

If I get a chance I will take a picture of the bumper removed, but the grill does give support to the bumper-big time. In this picture there is no grill support nor any padding, hence the wavy/collapse appearance were grill resides. If you ever get a chance to pull a evo 8 bumper you will notice there is a metal bracket underneath (what I called the "evo whiskers/or mustache"). That metal bracket as well as some areas of the bumper has padding. Properly installs these and your golden.

Will update with newer pictures.
