^^nice rear. i met u at the oc meet a few weeks ago. i was the one who was waiting for rob to deliver it to me that night (as u can see i got my jdm IX rear, haha). u might remember, i snapped a few pics of ur car and talked to u a lil bit about ur rims, and u were surprised that i actually knew what kind of rims u had.

 

How you goin to reinstall the crash beam to your damaged rear end. It is kind of obvious that the bumper, trunk, and rear end will have damage. The crash beam will be straight no damage on it. You be lucky to able to reinstall the crash beam ofter you have rear end damage.

 

u know that they have JDM rear crash safety bar but it smaller than US one

 

In the pic that claims it's the JDM version, how would you know it wasnt a JDM bar......the thickness of the beam's profile height is a little thinner than the US version. So the pic is really not helping. you cant tell the thickness between the two...

 

If you get hit low speed and it does enough damage to crumple the support for the trunk, The body shop most likely will cut out the whole rear section and replace with new sheetmetal from factory, depending on if you choose a good repair shop, or bad one.

 

It all ur choose and it ur money.. Ill go with JDM IX rear with JDM rear crash beam

 

Obviously the US crash beam is critically important, since the streets of Europe and Asia run red with the blood of dead EVO drivers, since they don't have the aforementioned Miracle Crash Beam.

 

If you died from an impact coming from behind, I dont think any crash bar would save you reguardless!
Maybe since you know what the possible scenarios are and the fact that you have created a lower margin of safety for yourself, you can use this mod to slow down on the roads increasing the life span of the average evo owner?
It would also help with insurance premiums!

 

Oh my 5$^&ing god! I'm unsubscribing at this point. Seriously, like people don't modify there cars all the time.

IT'S YOUR CAR DO WHAT YOU WANT!

 

Nope, insurance premiums are based on the amount of horsepower a car has in the category it sits in and the amount it costs to replace parts. Which on a EVO which is limited production, would cost insurance companies more money than say a regular lancer.

And as far as this thread goes, Does anyone have an answer to weather someone may or may not sell the JDM rear with the us crash bar... damn i want the look but i dont want to pay the piper!!!

 

I agree the jdm look of the bumper looks real good but what do you guys think of the apr rear diffuser made for the usdm bumper. I am planning on going that route instead.

 

the jdm rear crash beam doesn't exist. simple as that.

 

Ok then a link on the how to shave one?

 

lol. why do you all care. Worry about your own rides.

 

can the insurance guy really tell the difference between the usdm crash beam or the jdm one? i mean, arent they only different by a couple inches at most? and if ur car's rear ended, all the parts will be deformed, hard for him/her to tell, right?
