    Anyone make e30 bumper supports?

    Short story.. inherited drift project..

    I need to mount bumpers but car did not come with bumper shocks or crash bars. Is there an aftermarket option where you dont have to get all the original parts?

    Thinking like 350z style crash bars maybe

      Perfect!

      Now what else do I need to mount the bumpers... i saw brackets and need a crashbar... does anyone have after market stuff for this as well to make stuff as light and easy to remove as possible?

          Its a 1989(late model).. but it came with zero haedwarw for bumpers ir bumpers themselves.

            Then the above mounts wont work for plastic bumpers. You need late model bumper shocks.

              These are shorter by 1" front and 1.5" back over stock bumper shocks

                I think I see what you are talking about. The late model have studs.

                I have no parts for a bumper .and just want to be able to moint something aftermarket. Cant even find the carriers affordably... has to be something out there to mount a bumper skin without spend over a thousand dollars on supports

                  Welcome to owning an e30, you have to pay to play. Seriously though, the best and only way to mount a plastic bumper or even an after market bumper is with OEM parts. Join FB e30 groups for parts but watch out for scammers as they for sure always have what you're looking for.

                    Lol... im seeing that. 350z isnt cheap for parts e30. Was hoping to have a drift missle in this e30.. can justify the expense if I was restoring it. Hard to justify if the wife runs the bumper into a wall..
