This REALLY bums me out! I thought it was direct bolt on. I have a little list of thing to do and the JDM bumper was on top....I have 2 kids so I'm not taking a chance modifying or removing the crash beam. God help anyone in the back seat if you get hit by a bigger vehicle.
To any and all who are interested in the rear bumper, it just makes the Evo look....correct. I have received so many positive looks and comments about the bumper I have lost count. It makes the body look better balanced from the side(i.e. the rear overhang complements the front overhang better). I am sure someone else who has a JDM bumper shares my thoughts.

Only there for up to a 5 mph impact! That's almost the funniest thing I've heard of all day. What, at a 6 mph or more impact does it turn into dust or does it magically break away from the frame and move out of the way? 
It's designed not to bend/buckle up to 5 mph not meaning they're useless after 5mph. If anything...get it modified. Don't just get rid of it especially if you ever put kids in your car. And yes, it's supposed to be a direct fit other than the beam.

if your worried that your gonna loose the crash beam for the JDM rear bumper. Don't do it you can go for CF rear air diffuser.. I think APR makes it.
That was my option before I give in to the JDM rear bumper. It just looks SEXY! No question about it.

Many exhausts need to be modified. This thread should help you out.
