Does the EvoVII (JDM) rear bumper retro fit to the XI? Is there anyone who can confirm this? Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated as I'm looking to see if there are any fitting/matching issues. Sorry if this is in the wrong section it just seems like an appropriate place to ask it.

 

yes it fits. you just need to remove the factory USDM rear bumper beam.

Same installation procedure (in our how-to section) as the JDM EVO IX rear bumper

good luck!

 

I may be mistaken, but isn't that beam suppose to protect you if you get rear-ended? I wanna do the IX rear bumper but this actually kinda freaked me out when I found out. Crazy drivers out there... lol

 

There are some threads on how to modify your rear crash beam to work with the JDM IX rear bumper.

 

do the jdm vii have the rear bumper beam???

 

I am looking into this bumper as well for my VIII and if i am not mistaken japanparts.com has the bumper and an installation kit that has the new bumper beam.....Ill go check it out again.

 

The VII bumper fits both the VIII and the IX but just like the JDM IX bumper, the crash beam needs to be modified or removed. The VII bumper looks awesome in person. If I had an VIII, I would definitely sport one.

 

Ok, just checked it out....rear bumper beam not included, they do show a rear bumper beam in their illustration for the hardware kit so I would guess that someone could order one...maybe mitsu dealer?

 

yes the vii bumper fits. my crash beam is removed. get the hardware kits also, and the license plate bracket if its not included in the kit

heres mine on my IX

 

Now thats a fresh idea. Usually people put newer model bumpers on. Looks great!

 

yeah, i love this bumper, like it better than the jdm ix bumper. i love how it has the line on the bumper that flows along with the ones on the doors

 

I had VII in my hands and opted for the JDM IX instead..... Damn!!!!

 

Looks good but kinda like theres a small gap?

 

nah, probably the pics, theres no gaps

 

Figured so any how still looks good!
