I really like the Gialla bumper, until I found out that I have to remove the crash beam in order to put it on.

I did a search and read that the Monster front bumper can be modified to fit onto a US-spec Evo without removing the crash beam? Is this true? I want to get a new bumper that will allow me to keep the crash beam, but I don't really like the Chokets bumper from GP Sports.

Also wondering if anybody has a picture of a Monster bumper in black?

Thanks for the help guys.

 

you dont need a front bumper beam thingy...

get the gialla

 

I'm just afraid that in the case of an accident (*knock on wood*), the insurance company will refuse to pay up.

Therefore, I'd prefer a bumper that will allow me to keep the bumper beam.

 

be like... "i took it off for safety reasons"

 

your a smart guy... keep the the beam......the bumper is not woth your safety,life,or somebody elses in the car, and your right your insurance company i they found out would tell you to take a hike.

 

Thanks. I've been searching through EvoM, and so far I've come up with a few answers. Hopefully somebody can point out if I'm wrong.

1. Monster Sports front bumper can be modified to fit the IC sprayer and the front beam.

2. HKS Kansai front bumper does not require the removal of the front crash beam.

Are the above statements true?

Just trying to look good and be safe at the same time. With the reckless drivers in Boston and the New England winter, I guess it never hurts to play safe.

 

You need to cut part of the HKS bumper to fit it over the bumper beam.

Do you happen to know any shops capable of doing this? I asked around on the Northeast board for Boston-area shops, but nobody seems to know any.

I don't mind driving to NY, if that's what it takes to do it right.

Thanks!

 

Its not that hard. I havent done myne yet but you just need to cut the back of the "eyebrows"

You can tell what you have toi do when you line it up.

same goes for the Monster...requires some cutting of the support to get it to fit with the crash beam....a sawzall is your friend

 

^Hell yes it is! I look for excuses to use that and my dremel!

 

also you might want to consider the Evo 9 bumper since it looks similar to gialla
