any vendors sell the JDM EVO 8 style rear bumper? and will it fit on the US evo 8?

i believe the JDM front bumper will not fit over the US crashbar.

That was the original reason/excuse for the delayed delivery of the USDM evo's

 

Installing the JDM rear bumper will require the removal of the USDM rear bumper beam.

 

whoops i meant rear

 

That rear bumper is a great way to make the evo's *** not look like Jenifer Lopez ...

 

any one got a pic of the JDM rear?

 

I have a jdm rear bumper on my car. U have to remove the rear bumper beam.


here's a picture of it

 

niiiice, IMO that looks alot nicer then the chubby USDM rear bumper

 

Nah....I think the US Evo 8 bumper is much nicer.

 

I think I will need the evo7 JDM bumper to clear the greddy ti exhaust... argh

 

Hi guys
i need some help

i just got a EVO7 JDM bumper going to be put on my US EVO8
the body shop is now painting it, but they won't agree to install it on my car if REAR CRASH BEAM removal is required

how bad is it to get rear ended without a rear crash beam??
if i still decide to install the EVO7 bumper and remove the crash beam (most likely since the bumper is getting painted), can anyone go thru a quick explain on how to remove the crash beam and remove/install the bumper??

i think i''ll have to DIY if the bodyshop won't do it

thanks a lot!!

 

I will tell you my experience of removing the crash beam.......I had a 240sx Silvia conversion.....I too had to remove beams to fit the front bumper on.....al was good for about 2 years and then I got into a low speed front end crash and my car was demolished......after I assesed the situation....I realized had I kept that crash beam the car would not have been totaled going only 10mph. So even though I REALLY want that EVO 7 bumper, I would have to say that I learned my lesson...

 

I agree.

 

that's good to know

but damn......now i don't know wut to do with the EVO7 bumper
is there anyway to modify the crash beam or the bumper to make it fit?
like cut the crash beam smaller or something??
