It'll depend on which kit you use and how fussy you are.
There are a few more differences.
The support rail is a slightly different shape and they both mount differently across this.
Also there is a 10mm rebate in the side of the Levin guard which a Trueno bumper will not fill. (or is it the other way around?) but you can get away without worrying about it.
We make a fibreglass kit for both. Originally we made two different bumpers but stopped doing so as we noticed the bumper trimmed to fit Trueno can be fitted to both.
When trimmed out for the Levin it would not work on a Trueno though.

I would be confident in saying that a Trueno kit will fit a Levin. I'm not so confident with the reverse. That will depend on how it is made. Some are made to fit both.
Trueno headlamps are flush with the top edge of the bumper all the way around.
Levin headlamps are about 10mm below this edge where it bolts to the guard rear of the lamp.
So whilst a Trueno bumper is flat and can fit a Levin, a Levin bumper may have a raised section at the rear extremities that could prevent it fitting a Trueno.
A TOM'S bumper is universal as is the one we make - but some are not.

That's actually nothing like a TOM'S bumper. Good price though.
A genuine TOM'S bumper will cost about $1300 with freight (ex Japan) & GST.
Our locally made bumper is a similar to BOMEX & TOM'S. Cost is $480 plus freight.Also there are side kirts & end caps.
