I unfortunately wrecked my car with the last snow storm here, so I need a new front bumper and am going get something other than oem since I'm paying for it. So, what bumpers allow you keep the crash beam for the front? I'll probably just end up with a C-west which removes the beam, but I just wanted to see what my options are.

 

evo IX

 

version select
accolade
maybe kaminari

 

in short, anything that looks halfway decent requires you to remove the bump support...

 

Yeah, I sort of knew that but just wanted to give it a shot....

 

not version select....

 

I know the accolade R1 does, the Gialla , Cwest fronts you will need to remove the impact bars.

 

sent you an email!

 

evo 8 bumper with chopped nose do luck lip varis ducts and a apr splitter for kicks =)

 

That looks so good, I love your car!!! Are the 8 bumpers even available still?

 

Basically any bumper made in Japan will force you to remove it.

Any bumper made in the U.S. will allow you to keep it.

I'm not 100% sure, but the Ings+1 knockoff that Evodave sells might let you keep it.

 

Just checked it, didn't get anything....

 

Most JDM aftermarket bumpers (front or rear) will require you to remove the usdm 5mph bumper beams (front and rear). This is because there's no such mandate in Japan.
