I don't know what the term of this piece is called. But after removing the S14 USDM bumper of OptionZero's car, we had a foam piece that went along the width of the front bumper. We tried to replace it when we installed the S14 JDM kouki bumper but it was a bit too thick. The bumper would not fit back on properly. So we left it out.

Ended up my friend got into a very low speed accident, and so the bumper was not permanently damaged, but it crushed in, and the impact distored his metal bumper support and hood.

For those who have done this conversion, what did you do about this? I feel it's essential to have this to evenly distribute the impact perpendicular (normal) to the surface of the bumper support and frame.

I'm thinking about shaving it down if I have to.

any help would be appreciated. thanks
