JDM bumper installed on EB Evo 8

I scuffed my rear bumper backing into a rock so decided to get the JDM rear bumper. I had Andy Hikawa at Body Palace in Huntington Beach do the install. Perfect job, very professional guy running an honest shop. I am loving the new look!

My wheels are 17x9 Wedsport SA70s with the bronze finish and 255/40 Advan Neovas all around.









Stock exhaust tip - sticks out a little depending on the angle....

Not digging the wheels on your particular car and the tails need to go.Im sure everyone has already mentioned that you need to lower it too. The JDM rear is sexy though like usual

When my stock shocks wear out I will consider coilovers. I'm not really into modding this car since it's my DD and works great for commuting/beating around! It's all stock except for the wheels and now the bumper oh yeah I have an aftermarket stereo/ipod/sirius and V1 hardwired, does that count?


The car has 95,000 + miles now - original owner

It's all cool, thanks guys... I'm not fishng for compliments, I just know when I was searching for pics of the JDM bumper on EB I couldn't find any so hopefully this will help the EB guys out

I got the bumper from Driveline motoring 818-710-6666, Eric got the bumper for me fast!

LOL, C63 was just nosing into the Evo's business, wondering what was up with me taking all the pics. I gave it a bath though so it wouldn't bite me. Not looking for props again, just love the cars... like someone who shows off baby pics "loook at my baaabyyy" when no one else really cares
+ Geeky stock exhaust FTW.

What did your body guy do about the crash beam? Did he remove it entirely or modify it to work?
