Do you have the bumper shocks to go with those? and do you also have the plastic that those bumpers cover?
I did it and it's extremely easy to do.
The hardest thing you'll have to do is, cutting your blinker wires to fit the correct ones that fit the plastics!!!!

how about a absorber? is there any metal under the plastic?

What you need other than the bumpers themselves is the plastic bumper shocks and the correct bolt for the shocks. There is a plastic resin type core on the back side of the plastic. You need to make sure you have this. Other than that you are set. Just take the old metal bumpers off and cut and splice the new turnsignal connecters from the plastic bumper car so that you actually have turn signals. You should be good to go after that. You can PM lov-E30 or myself if you have questions. I installed his on his car. He did the dirty work, I just told him how. Haha.

Edwin, I said dirty.

You need two metal bumper shocks for plastic bumpers, and hardware.

You need the FIBERGLASS bumper core.

And you need the plastic sliders that bolt onto your car.
