If you want to do it right, don't forget the additional hardware: http://www.mitsubishiparts.net/cart/...8*2+MS470075*3........................................and mounting components: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/mi...l#post10193145
My VIII RS has a JDM VIII bumper which is nicer than its USDM VIII counterpart. However, the JDM IX bumper is nicer still than the JDM VIII piece.

Any of you guys living in parts of the world where the JDM rear is stock ever want to put a USDM rear on your EVO? I've always been curious if guys in Japan, UK, Australia, etc. want a USDM rear bumper and go through all the trouble to get one lol.
I remember a thread where a guy in the UK wanted to trade his JDM tails and headlights for USDM ones because they were rare where he was from. Pretty funny hearing that if you're in North America and pay double for the exact opposite lol.

I would get a set of headlights if I wasn't pouring all my money into my other car. The tail lights for the sedan guys maybe. Not the bumper though, definitely not. The cost of the bumper plus shipping would be rather large for a....not so great looking bumper. It almost looks like they were getting close to a deadline and rushed through the USDM rear bumper, it just looks kinda bland. I have heard of some people putting the fogs (?) from the rear bumper on theirs.
The same holds true to a lot of other bumpers/body parts on other cars. Most often the USDM counterparts for any car look a lot crappier than what the car looks like in Japan. Evo, Integra, Rsx, ft86, brz, etc.
Great looking wagon, btw. Always wanted to see one in real life.

So there is no benefit to the JDM rear other than looks? I thought being that is seems to have more ground clearance than the usdm one and is slightly smaller in size, it would create less of a drag effect and provide a slight weight savings all at the same time. With those benefits the car should be a little faster right, or am I wrong?
