hey guys well unfortunately today while coming out of school some girl who wasnt paying attention rear ended me!!!! so pissed but everyone is ok... but now i need a new bumper and thinking bout ditching the regualr OEM evo ix bumper and getting the JDM evo ix bumper... what you guys think, and how much is a JDM bumper anyone know?

 

I'm pretty sure an aftermarket JDM will be cheaper than an oem (usdm) bumper. I think I've seen the JDM's for 600.00, and I was quoted at a body shop of getting the usdm for 763.00, and I think that's cheaper than another place I was at.

 

i think thats a good news
I think I saw then on forums for about 500 brand new.. (I think) maybe they went up, but im not sure.. just search a bit on marketplace.

 

Oh, and that was with no paint on the usdm one.

 

glad everyone is okay ! i think go for it ! should run about 600$ =)

 

yeah usdm is 775 from the dealer not painted definitley going to go for the jdm one, i was actually just thinking about trying to get one today then the accident and now i can get one haha

 

700 shipped painted for authentic

what school btw?

The jdm ix bumper isn't cheap either. It used to be $500 but those days are long gone.
Most places charge $600 plus $150 for shipping.
Example from vendor on this forum:
http://www.gruppe-s.com/Evo/evoext.htm
That $750 includes shipping but its the same thing as stated above.

Im glad I bought mine a year ago when they weren't so expensive...but buy one.....they look awesome!

 

yeah i see they are expensive but an OEM one from the factory is 750 unpainted so its the same amount and looks so sexy!!! plus its covered by insurance so its all good again

 

cool well it works out the best for you.. she get a ticket or you just get all info?

 

oo yeah can anyone inform me if this bumper offered by the above link will fit a ix also... it sayd direct fitment of evo 8 but idk about ix

 

and yeah she got a careless driving ticket i think it was like $136

 

If your going to order from Gruppe-s just call them. Im pretty sure the viii and ix bumpers are the same fitment.....so the jdm ix bumper fits both.

Gruppe-s is a great vendor and can probably give you a better deal than the price on their webpage I posted.

Good luck.....and make sure to modify your rear crash beam. (The two arms holding the beam need to be cut about 1.5 inch and rewelded or the beam won't fit) Most members just throw it out........DONT DO THAT....your car would have had much more damage today without it, plus your insurance company would not be happy to see that missing.

Use the Search on this forum about modding the beam if you don't know what im talking about.

 

It will fit, its was made for the IX in japan but we didn't get the nice look. It will fit and its better deal but try to find someone who has it in stock, or you will be waiting....
