Got a Evo IX MR. Why no Evo IX rear bumper?

My dad just bought an Evo IX, and I was wondering why he doesn't have the Evo IX rear diffuser bumper?





Besides the bumper question, what do you all think of his new car? I don't see many red Evo's

USA is not 'gay'... the USDM model decided to opt for safty and installed a rear crash brace. That brace sticks further out than the body by about 3-4 inches. Therefore, the JDM spec rear wouldn't fit. You can modify/remove the brace to fit a JDM rear IX and pick one up if you want. I'd recommend Grouppe-S since they seem to have the best price for it shipped.

I didn't even notice that in the pics, I havn't actually seen the car in person yet. I'll ask him about it.

Now I just need to convince him to start modding

I live in Orlando during the school year, but I'll be back in FM soon for summer. My fd is red. Here is an older picture of it. I have a new bumper now.

its not dented, its water trapped in the mess screen. almost like a bubble wand effect.

and that car looks amazing with the tints, and wheels.. great scheme right there.

a 5mph bumper has nothing to do with safety. its all about incuring less damage in a low speed collision. which is a requirement for USDM cars. that bumper isnt going to do anything in a real crash.
