Evo 9 JDM Rear am I missing anything?

I have watched you tube videos and read up around the internet. Seems like my main issue will be the Lighting on the license plate after the install. Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything or ordering parts I don't need to finalize.

Finally got my Tomei exhaust to do the JDM rear end conversion on my 9.

I have the Bumper, Tow hook cover and the exhaust in hand.

I am going to order the following from STM -
rear crash bar (don't have anyone who can modify the stock one)
bumper support bars (don't want to transfer from OEM)
License panel flap
license plate bracket JDM
Bumper rivets

Will this be it? Do I still need to make other modifications if I get the JDM license plate bracket? Are there parts here that I don't need?

That seems to be the full list unless you wanted to add the foglight in there, I also just retrofitted my usdm plate bracket and it worked out perfectly. Also should get someone to confirm this but im almost positive there is an oem under tray that clips to the little holes on the bottom of the "diffuser" just like the front bumper has.

Thanks! Will wait another day to see if anyone responds about the under tray. This wouldn't be the little tow hook cover in the center of the diffuser right? I have that.

^ no not the cover, if you notice the small holes along the bottom of the diffuser. Kind of like what this guy made except its mitsubishi oem plastic. I cant find any pics of the oem one. Its not on stm and I think its pretty hard to find. You can see where the tabs go. Two under the tow hook cover and one on the driver side.

Thanks AllAccess.

I haven't seen a mention of this before. Is it to keep the bumper stable at high speed? The bumper is in my warehouse so I'll check for the holes next time im there.

yea, it basically keeps it from parachuting and secures the diffuser part so the urethane doesn't bend outward. Im having a custom one made like the pic since I cannot find any sign of the oem ones for sale..lol
