Clean the bumper the best you can, take another photo and show us what it looks like then.

I love JDM rears, but it changes what exhausts can fit properly and you'll need to modify your crash bean if you want to keep it (recommended). It is a lot of money, but they blow the look of the USDM rears out of the water IMO.

Id stay away from any of those aftermarket JDM EVO IX rear bumpers.A lot of them do not fit and you still have to pay to get the OEM style rear bumper painted.Just get the OEM JDM EVO IX rear bumper and get the crash beam modified.Even though the crash beam may not be as strong as it was before being modified it will be better to have than nothing.

well does anyone know anyone who does this in ca? And if I look in the phone book what do I look under? Will this boi the warranty?

Dude... I live in CA as well. If you live anywhere near LA, I'd leave the OEM bumbper and crashbeam.

I was rear ended a month ago. I was stopped and the lady was doing maybe 30 and slammed on the brakes and skidded into me. I am finally getting my car back this afternoon. It cost $6700 to get it fixed. The crash beam saved the frame from being damaged. My evo probably would have been totalled w/o the crashbeam. Thats just my .02 though.
