if you ment VIII bumper, then no. its made for the jdm rear bumper. and right now, there is a little rubbing on my exhaust. it squeaks when i drive. its is very minimal though. the way i see it, i have 2 options. use a dremel and take off a little piece. (and i mean little, just a few mm.)
or option 2 which is to use some of that sticky padded exhaust wrap to put between the exhaust pipe and diffuser. other then that, there were no other fitment issues.
since it didnt come with instructions, i left a few pieces of hardware off because i have NO idea where they would go. i spend a good 45 min placing the brackets in different locations but none of them made sense. i sent a pm to rexpeed so hopefully he clears it up for me.

fitment is great. just had to do a little trimming so it would fit around where the exhaust pipe meets the muffler. i was expecting that though since not all exhausts are made the same. also, since i have a huge muffler, one of the support brackets wont reach the diffuser. i dont think its necessary though because it has 5 other support brackets to keep it on tight at high speeds. if you grab it and try to move/wiggle it, it doesnt budge. its pretty solid.
im running the hks carbon ti which has a huge muffler canister. biggest one i have seen on aftermarket exhausts. i dont think you would have that problem with any other exhaust system.

I like it, but must say that IMHO the car overall is getting very "busy". It has many items attached and stuck on and its right on the edge of being overdone.
-window visors
- vortex generators
- side skirts
- mud flaps (front only)
- vinyl trunk wrap
- front lip
- rear diffuser
- stretched tires slightly tucked
Again, not saying I dont like it, just that to my eyes its really pushing the boarder between well done, and over done. Side skirts that complimented the body lines more would go quite a ways in relaxing the overall appearance. maybe these HERE?
It would be tragic to see your evolution evolve to the state of this evolution....
