How to install the JDM Rear bumper on a evo 8

Hey guys, I am thinking to buy a JDM rear bumper for my evo 8. I have a question for ordering it. Besides the bumper, what else should I order? Such as "JDM Evolution IX Rear Bumper License Plate Bracket, JDM Evolution VII IX Rear Bumper Retainer / Reinforcement, Evolution IX JDM Rear Bumper Reinforcement, Evolution IX JDM Rear Bumper License Plate Lamp Bracket, Evolution IX JDM Rear Bumper Rubber Flap". Are those necessary to buy to fit the bumper on the car?

The only thing you really need is the bumper and tow hook cover. The bumper will come with all the rivets you need. You will reuse the bumper bracket from the stock bumper and attach it to the JDM bumper with the supplied rivets. The stock license plate frame can be modified to fit correctly. If you want a crash beam you can order one that works with the jdm rear, but I just took mine off.

To recap, all you need is the bumper and tow hook cover.

The OEM crash beam won't fit under the JDM rear bumper. Look into a demonwerkz crash beam or a rear crash beam from Street Tuned Motorsports (STM).

I have a demonwerkz crash beam I can sell you, it has a license plate bracket attached so all you need for an install is the jdm bumper, the bracket from your current bumper and the tow hook cover
