Yeah but you gotta take the foam looking pieces off the inside of your stock bumper and rivet them to the new one before you bolt it up. I got lucky and found a guy who was trying to go back to stock with an EB Evo and he wanted to trade me for my stock one, neither of us had to do a whole lot o work other than swap his tag mount that he made for it. Later on I cut the exhaust so it didn't stick out like a stinger on a bee.

It's a fun do-it-yourself if you have a rivet gun and a drill.

I bought the rivet gun for $15 at Lowes and never used one before. All your doing is removing rivets from the old piece and attaching rivets to the new piece. I thought it was going to be way harder than it was too and it turned out to be a very fun afternoon project.

ok question i know or seen and read people cutting there exhaust to make this bumper fit. I also have read of some people that have exhaust systems that fit fine with this bumper. I have a Nividia N1 exhaust. would this bumper fit fine with no cutting the exhaust or would it stick out like a sore thumb

The bumper didn't have to be cut to make mine (Buschur, magnaflow) fit however I did cut some of the exhaust pipe out between the muffler and tip to make it not stick out so far. I have no knowledge of how the N1 fits with it.
