Have it and will be installing soon. Got it from a buddy and I WILL pay his amount versus actual JDM price PLUS painting

Let us know how it fits..

If your price is anywhere near $700 you should have just gone for the jdm one

Admittedly, your Evo is a little different than most:

It seems clear. Few folks would choose the same fate for their Evos as you chose for yours, so it's no surprise that you'd also choose a non-factory body part that is not commonly used by others.

Also, don't forget their is gonna be a cost to shorten the crash beam.

im pretty sure this is a fiberglass bumper. and there comes all the problems with saving the money up front. they get stress cracks and tend to get cracks in the clear from what i have seen over time. oem real thing is the way to go.
