that so called jdm crash beam isn't a real crash beam. That part is already on your stock VIII bumper. Thats just a bumper retainer/license plate bracket. When you install the JDM IX bumper, you have to remove that bracket off the VIII and transfer that onto the IX rear bumper.

Jbigelow and I (when i was working at gruppe-s) were the first one post an install How-To on the JDM rear bumper. Use that link as a reference please

Cheers

Ummm...I think the ones on orbital and mitsubishiparts are just bumper supports. $40 is quite cheap and someone already bought it. There is already a thread somewhere here that discusses the JDM IX Rear bumper support and it's not a crash beam, but a piece that holds the license plate and supports the bumper from sagging.

The part they are selling is something that we already have on the USDM Evo 8 and 9 rear bumpers...

How strong is this beam vs the USDM beam for the US bumper? Is is safe to have two kids in the back seat with this JDM beam?

The "JDM" beam doesn't exist. Read the past few posts.
