I know the JDM bumper fits with a different crash beam, but is the same true for the UK rear bumper? I saw this thread: http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=112078 and I think the UK bumper looks better than the JDM. Is that the standard rear cover?

 

The JDM and European bumpers are the same thing.... that is a the JDM/EDM VII and VIII rear bumper.

 

So wait, the JDM and EU rear bumper isnt a direct bolt on change? I wanted to change to that but Im not near handy enough to make the change if it isnt just a direct bolt on change.

 

You have to modify your crash beam.

 

what do you need to do the the crash beam?

 

take it out .. or get one that doesnt stick out as far as the USDM one

 

You can also cut the brackets off, then cut off the posts that stick off the beam. Then re-weld the brackets back on so they sit flush. I am going to do this in the next week or so. I have seen pictures of it done before on here, just can't find them now.

So the JDM/Euro 9 bumper is different from the previous ones? Thanks, I've only seen pictures of the 9 bumpers.

 

JDM Evo 8 rear
