i been telling people simply to modify their stock crash beam, thats what i did. it simply involved removing those two rear brackets and a lil re weilding. it is plan stupid not to have one. nice work on that costum one though

 

Thanks on the suggestions on where to get the tow hook cover. I'll call Gruppe-S.

Anyone know if the JDM EVO has a diffuser lower pan that bolts on the empty bolt holes?

 

Brian managed to get a little more weight off while adding strength by taking out some tubing while adding a couple more dimple die gussets so the beam now weighs only 7.5 lbs to shave over 10 lbs off the tail of the car. Its actualy a little better than the original in a impact as well.



He also added the lower brackets shown here to fix the JDM bumper rear flapping by using the normaly unused factory mounting points on the JDM bumper. He has subsiquntly added tabs to mount the licence plate and licence plate lights.

I guess I can finaly get my car back now.

 

thats great looking. are these going to be manufactured or is this a special order thing.

 

I think Brian made one to stock for now, he can make more if there is interest because he made a jig for the beam and a template for the lower bracket. If you are interested you can call him at 714 220 2030.

 

Lets get some crash tests

You first

 

Good work, give him a round of applause from me.

 

I'm thinking of keeping my stock rear bumper brace and bending it at a 45 degree angle and putting it in my trunk. That way when somebody rear-ends me and totals my car because of lack of a rear-bumper support, the insurance adjuster will find a bent rear-bumper support in the wreckage Great way not to have to worry about it, unless you're dead of course.
