not another JDM Rear Bumper
Hey guys looking to pick up a JDM rear bumper off
parts dot net however I'm worried about fitment. It clearly states
"Intended for OFF-ROAD Use Only! The Japanese bumper requires modification or removal of your USDM Rear Bumper Reinforcement."
now would fitment be a problem if i picked up JDM Evolution IX Rear Bumper Retainer / Reinforcement they offer??? Does the bumper then line up with all the clips etc.? Has anyone grabbed one off of
parts dot net? THANK YOU GUYS!

I think you can just get the rear crash beam offered by Driveline.

Not sure if it works with the Evo 8 though

Here you go: Mod your stock exisiting VIII/IX crash beam to accept the JDM IX rear bumper

The crash beam either needs to be removed or replaced with a compatible/modified one. The bumper retainer can be transfered from bumper to bumper as long as you have replacement rivets and a rivet tool to use obviously. The license plate bracket of the usdm bumper will not fit with the jdm bumper. You can modify the usdm parts, but it requires you to have the ability to trim and cut metal...nothing heavy, a dremel will do. This depends on how handy you are of course. So there are 3 things that need to be addressed. The jdm bumpers are so widely bought and used, fixing the issues are now easy. Buy from Driveline, they will be able to supply anything you need for installation.
