The center part on the RA is a totally different shape then the Evo X. Also the "nose" with the diamond star is intergrated into it.

The center section is also part of the bumper skin, unlike the Evo X.

I've looked into this before. It won't be a bolt on, you will have to do some fabrication.

That said, I still want to try it.

This was the conclusion I came to, as well. That's why the bezel was developed. Now it looks like the bezel may be able to be used without cutting the stock crash beam, but replacing it with the jdm evo unit. This may turn out to be ideal from a "using the bezel" standpoint. But good luck to you guys wanting to make a hybrid front fascia with a combo of RA and X parts. I am interested to see how it comes out.

USDM should work too, but they cost (pretty much) the same if you are ordering from the dealership; plus the JDM is lighter and has the tow-hook plate welded on.














Oh yeah, and the JDM bar is fricken mad-tyte JDM, yo!

Just noticed that Mach V has dropped the price big on the bezels for the holiday sale. Almost $60 off! At $179, you can't beat it. Just thought I would pass the word on, for those in need of MORE FLOW!!!!!!!

I just measured for center, cut holes smaller than needed, then slowly sanded with a dremel tool till it slid in tightly. turned out great and love the look. Now people think its a new bumper entirely. Especially after i plasti-dipped the black parts and the bezel.

The crash beam is a Bolt on piece so I would not be worried about cutting into it. Worst case scenario it can be replaced.

That looks great, but I am not looking to sell my kidney to afford one. I am looking for used Evo x crash beam.

I see you have the hella horn, do you like it better than the stock one? It looks like you dont even have a crash beam with the bumper on.
I was going to cut the stock crash beam but got a great deal on the evo x crash beam so in the end i saved money.
