Thanks to the great guys over at drivelinesales.com! Not only did I get a great deal on a IX rear bumper, it arrived much quicker than I thought.

The installation went very smoothly and took about 3 hours. Next one could be done in about 2 hours. I still have to get the tip sorted but I am not sure what I am going to do. Either replace the tip with a short piece of 3" stainless or have the original Magnaflow tip sectioned. I'll see what the exhaust shop thinks.

Big thanks goes out to my good friend Micheal (mitsu master tech).

Pics!


























Did I mention the new bumper matches my paint better than the original?

 

nice 'ring decal!!

I like the bumper too

.....maybe I'm just partial lol

 

so sexy! i like how u still have that bumper bar... insurance wont cover u without it...

 

thats sweet!

 

yellow + jdm rear = hoooooot. im yellow too. car looks great bro

 

so sick! makes me wanna get one. looks like it went really smooth

 

That's not a bumper bar. It's the bumper support piece. You need to take it off your 8 and rivet it on to a IX...
IX bumpers cannot run a crash beam....

 

Mrbkkt- of course we can use a crash beam. I did:

 

looks great

 

Yeah it sets it off on a yellow car. I went to the 'Ring in July of last year. Best thing I have ever done... ever.

 

Looks Great! I wished someone made it in BBY so i wouldn't have to buy one than repaint it

 

I believe Drivelinesales offers them in any factory color. Have a look at their website but make sure to PM them so you get the EvoM price.

 

That is true of only colors that were available in the IX. So bby is not available.

And I must say I really like the crash bar mod. I just used some square tubing but wish I wouldve reworked the stock beam. Maybe that will give me something to do this summer....

 

yeah they don't make it in BBY but they do make a Pearl White for some reason
