Alright here's the scoop. My 05' Evo 8 is currently being shipped to me and I'm looking into idea for body modifications. I want to keep it fairly simple yet stand apart from other Evo owners. I like the idea of the JDM Evo 9 rear bumper on the 8 but the mod seems so cliche. Also the Evo 9 diffusers (and the Voltex diffusers) don't seem very functional. I'm wondering if the JDM Evo 7 bumper will fit on the Evo 8 and to what extent?

Thanks in advance for the input!

 

i believe the JDM Evo 8 and 7 rear bumpers are the same.

as far as figment, it fits perfect... only problem is the license plate mount/frame

My car

 

I think they are too. But what I meant to say was that my car is a USDM and I want to fit it with the JDM rear.

 

my car is a USDM car and the JDM &7 rear bumper fits perfect.

 

did you have to do anything with the rear crash beam? BTW, your car looks so clean I like that look.

 

i removed mine completely. but you can easily modify to make it fit. or you can buy an aftermarket crash beam.

 

That looks very nice and clean. Good job

 

Anyone know where to get one of these in the US?

 

Eric at Driveline hooked me up.

 

I believe they are both the same the 7 bumper is a little bit more square. No interest in a 9 jdm rear?

 

both JDM 8 and 7 have the same bumper. which looks like mine up top. IMO i didnt like that fake diffuser look of the JDM 9, but thats just me.

Vivid i will be calling you soon for that chopped nose bumper, good job on that!!!

 

We brought them in years ago for a one-time sale. Unfortunately due to the very small demand, I don't believe we'll be offering these again.

 

The JDM 7/8 rear bumpers look to similar to the USDM rear bumpers to justify the mod IMO.
JDM 7/8 = MR954189 (white)
JDM 9 = 6410A380WA (wa = white, ra= red, hb = grey)
