the seller said it should...(not that I should belive him) and Kaminari won't respond to emails very quickly.
Anyone by chance know if this bumper will line up if the widebody fenders are not used?

It should fit as long as the rest of the kit is on the car then it will line up. Kits are made to be put on as a whole and sometimes you can mix and match kits by same makers. But for a wide body kit you would need the rest of the wide body kit to have its lines meet up.

all that being an assumption.....do you know for a fact with this specific kit?

well it makes sense to me...if its made for a wide body kit which makes ur car wider,, then putting on the front bumper will only make yur front end look wider and then the rest of the car will be off unless u get the rest of the kit to match up to the front bumper..but thats jst my 0.2 :thumb

if i've attached this image correctly, I guess I'm just trying to figure out where the "wideness" actually starts.....if the flare of the fender starts right at that point where the fender meets the bumper or if that meeting point is actually wide as well.

I'd really just rather get this add-on but they are so freaking expensive! and ive NEVER found one used like all the other brands can be found.

well then either the title of the bumper is wrong or its talking about the flare on the bottom of the car. it may be wider at the point where it meets the door.

here is what the seller of that auction told me:

"I used a regular front bumper for the widebody fenders on my car. The bumper
itself is only a little wider than the stock one and it is only wider where it
mounts to the fenders. If you line it up correctly it will be fine. "

you're gonna have a gap between the stock fenders and this bumper.
