Euro Bumper Question?

At Tousley I noticed a couple Foci with Euro bumpers, my question is:
Did you guys just put the bumper on the cut down US spec bumper, or did you buy the Euro spec crash foam/bumper stuff to go along with the skin?
Just curious, and yes, I should have asked last week in person. Also trying to figure out what my next move w/my car should be money wise.
Thanks,
Tim

no crash bar or foam in the back for me, front doesn't have the foam, and the us spec bar has cutouts for the euro turn signals

I think, I recall Eric cutting the front crash bar on your car.

Yeah, I've researched it...
Either you pick the whole euro bumper, rebar and crash foam, or you can notch the US spec rebars to fit the bumpers, but you most likely won't be able to run foam or anything unless you modify it.

what about the tip of the exhaust? Would that have to be "cut back" to make it look not completely ricer-ish?
Just wondering.
TANKS,

Well, of course. Most exhausts will need to be cut back 5-6inches.
