all the aftermarket ones are gonna be too flashy for you, if you think the JDM 9 is.

JDM 8 is your only option, but keep in mind that you have to take off the crash bar.

 

Ive never really seen anything wrong with stock evo bodyparts, its a fairly attractive car as is. (IMO)

 

agreed.

 

maybe you should just get the oem evo 8 bumper again but add the apr rear diffuser. it looks pretty nice, functional, and you can keep your rear crash beam.

 

you can get a JDM crash beam with not much effort, and the USDM beam is rated at 5MPH and atached to the subframe, so if you get hit much harder than that you are screwed either way and at 5 MPH or less your changing your bumper cover either way. do not limit your options because of "crash beam"

 

How could you not like that??? Pure sex in my opinion!!



Kaminari ^^ Is the simplest I can think of right now but not my favorite....




If not the JDM9 how about Chargesped? ^^

 

JDM crash beam don't exist.
here's a proof!

 

I vote oem bumper with apr diffuser

 

Chargespeed or OEM w/ APR rear diffuser.

 

Wow.. chargespeed is wicked. I think that one will probably be put on.

Do you guys think it'll look good in Rally Red?

Vivid, YGPMed

 

and you think jdm rear is flashy?

 

no, i don't think the JDM rear is flashy at all. I think it looks pretty clean. What I meant by flashy was RICEY, but I didn't say RICEY because i didn't want to offend anyone here in the show n' shine forum.

 

how fast was the car going that rear ended you? what was the damage like? the reason im asking this is to get an idea of how much the oem crash beam helps. pics would also be nice.

 

stock then

 

It was in a parking lot. The woman behind was on the cell phone and obviously wasn't paying attention. She hit me going under 5mph i'd say. There was no visible damage that I could see except for the license plate getting smashed. I got her info anyway and figured I'd take it in just to be safe. the body shop guy pointed out that the bumper was damaged next to the license plate (one of the beveled sides was smooshed a little). I probably would never have noticed it. I don't know if there is any damage to the crash bar as they didn't take off the bumper, they just quoted me for the visual damage.
