A buddy of mine has it on his car Works great and is lighter then stock

 

Such a rip off.

 

I have the this Rear Bumper piece and I have to tell you, it is a real nice Piece.

It is very light and it is very well designed. It is designed specificatlly for the JDM Bumper, it has the holes pre-drilled for the license plate, and it also has a aluminum piece to give more strength to the JDM rear from flapping as much in the wind.

The only drawback is that it is quite expensive but when it comes to your life that is a questionable cost.

If budget is of concern then I would recommend modifying the stock crash beam. Maciek at APM actually has done this for a few of this customers.. It will be cheaper.

I personally don't mind paying 400 for this piece, it is a superior design. Like i said the only drawback it the price.

Good luck.

 

or you could just buy some welding equipment and make one your self that is just as nice for way less money. Doing something like this is not hard.

 

400 bucks wow smhh. my buddy did it in 45 min charged me 50 bucks used factory one

 

give me a whole pic of what this looks like and where the holes are i can make them for anyone w/alot better welds.

 

Would you shut up already? I agree this bumper support is a rip off but they are the only people who actually make a GOOD bumper support for the JDM rear. Some people dont have the skill or time to actually fab this up themselves so they have to pay for it like me. Not everyone is going to go out and buy a welder just to make a rear bumper support.

 

rip off you can modify the stocker to look oem and be just as strong but if you like spending money on useless stuff go ahead just my 2 cents

 

modify the stock one's yourself is the best and cheapest route, $400 is pricey just to save a few lbs. lol

 

good job

 

I looked into this a while back when installing my JDM rear, and it s actually a very simple piece to make. Just two chromoly bars and a plating. There's no real science to it. Even talked to my neighbor who builds race car chassis, and he couldn't believe how much they're asking for it, albeit they're the only ones making the piece. I bet any good welder can fab a piece for you for less than $200.

 

Too much money.
If someone were to produce these for sub-$200 you'd make a fortune. Great opportunity for someone (perhaps recently laid off) with mechanical skills and some free time.

 

ill try and make one up and show you guys its easy and ill have how much everything cost me

 

^^^ good idea!

 

The only reason they are $400 is because they are the only game in town. Maybe they are being a bit greedy? Someone should start offering something comparable for $200. They would sell a ton of them I'm sure. It doesn't cost that much in materials, no way.
