Yep, i had to cut down the bumper to fit the Protoform Mazda 6 body for my RRR.
I`d say they make the bumpers larger than normal so they fit a large range of body shells and then allow the builder to trim them to size.........a nice sharp hobby knife helps immensely when trimming them to size

Cheers

We offer a bumper that is much lighter and stiffer that is a direct fit for a number of bodies including the popular Mazda and Parma Alfa. Many of the top Kyosho Team Drivers will be sporting the new P-Dub bumper this weekend at the ROAR On-Road Nats
