Looks as if there is a lip on the bottom portion of the bumper. Can this part be taken off? The reason why i ask is because i would like to repaint it due to a little curb incident.

 

bump, no one here knows if theres a front lip on the bumper or not?

 

na its all one piece

 

Hm...you sure there isn't a lip? It looks as if the evo has a lip thats contoured to blend into the bumper.

 

Yes the lower lip can be removed.

 

Yes there are 2 pieces the bumper then the front lip

 

Here's the proof:

I had my front bumper replaced, and was pissed, originally the body shop thought it was all one piece and that it was just a charcter line. When I went to pick up my car, I noticed a gap and complained, then I noticed that they didn't even repaint it. It's held on by six plastic push screws.

 

haha its not really that much to get a new one. like 200 and it comes painted too i think you have to get it from mitsu tho

 

Yeah, I know, and I've also had the EVO long enough that Mitsu's painting leaves a lot to be desired, seeing that my car didn't come with many body pieces that match, I've had several parts on the car repainted including the new bumper, because of that, insurance wouldn't pay to repaint the lip. Besides, it's only scratched underneath, you have to be under the car to notice. My plans include getting the whole car repainted once it's gone through it's first New England winter and the funds become available.

 

AMEN TO THAT!! now that i've had her a while, im noticing edges everywhere, where you can still see a bit of primer

 

That's total genius though, it's like ablative armor, replaceable high-wear pieces so you don't have to replace major components! I love this car.. in my wrx the little scrapes that everyone gets from pulling into driveways or accidentally hopping curbs would result in damage that would cost $500 for a repaint... with my Evo I can just replace the part every couple of years..
