i couldnt have said it any better. its so easy to modify the stock rear crash beam that it would be well worth the time to get genuine jdm mitsu parts

The AutoX class I'm in will let me replace the bumper but not touch the beam, so I would be but that's probably a rare case.

If you could make a piece that looked identical but did not require removal of the crash bar and came in at a competitive price, I would buy one without hesitation.

do you speak from experience because i totaled my evo two years ago and they didn't even flinch in sending me a check for 25k my friend so get outa here with that useless i know everything shat... go back to school

definitely interested. it would have to look very close to an authentic bumper and fit well. prepainted would be a plus too. keep us updated on whether you guys decide on doing this or not!

Not every situation is the same, and not every insurance company is the same. Apparently you're not intelligent enough to realize that either. Some of us are not so foolish as to risk major problems just to be "JDM tizzite yo!"
