Finally Got some installed pics with my new JDM Rear
What's up guys?
Haven't been on here in a long time, lol. Working 7 days a week all the time kills your time for anything. I have took what little bit of spare time that I do have, which is limited, and put on my JDM rear this past March
Just now getting around to getting pics of it and time to post em up...I know, I know....I'm slack.
I modified the rear crash beam myself, because I didn't want to not have a rear crash bar. Modded the bumper reinforcement as well for the tag bracket...all went as easy as 1, 2, 3.
I wanna give a huge thanks to Driveline Motoring for getting this out to me super fast when I ordered. Arrived here in great condition.
Only other thing I want to do to the exterior is a CF Do-Luck front lip, and I'll be perfectly happy.
Doing a Double-Din swap in the upcoming month as well with my little free time.
Here are the pics. I'll let them speak for themselves.
Sorry for the crooked camera phone shot.
Double-Din Swap coming very soon!

Nice work.
Which a/c controls will you be using for the double din swap? I really haven't seen one that looks perfect enough for me to consider, but I'm more **** than most. I've only done one orbital kit and that was back in 2006. Fitment was pretty good overall I thought, but all the others I've seen have been pretty crappy looking to me, at least in pictures.

OEM Double-Din Bezel
I'm not new to double din swaps. I did one in my 01 Silverado Z71 that was originally 1.5 Din. All done using factory Chevrolet parts from an 03 up.
I will be using this head unit..it's a Pioneer AVH-4200DVD.
I had this in my 01 Silverado that I did the Double-Din conversion on, sold it (but not before I removed it) and bought an 03 Tahoe Z71. Installed it in that, and sold it. Again, not before I removed it. Then I bought my 07 Trailblazer SS, but it has the Factory Navigation Unit and a flip down rear DVD, so there is no need for this to go in it.

Very nice job.
As for front lips, have you considered a genuine Mitsubishi FQ400 front lip:
http://www.carbongoodies.co.uk/Evo-8...nt-Lip-Spoiler
This is the same lip as used on the Evo 8 FQ400 in the UK. If you were to walk into a Mitsubishi dealership in the UK and buy an FQ400 lip from the parts department, this is the lip you would get.
As for shipping, you would be looking at around £75.00.
Cheers
Rick

I've seen the Fq's but haven't paid attention to the lip before. Not sure how I am on how far the corners look like they stick out?
May be the angle of that picture, but it kinda looks like they stick out a little further than what I am looking for. Like a little wing/splitter, lol. Am I crazy?

Also if it is a true JDM rear bumper you have, I also sell these:
http://www.carbongoodies.co.uk/Evo-9...st-heat-Shield
Again they are made by the company who make all of the carbon for Mitsubishi UK. They are made from pre preg carbon and are fantastic quality too.
I would expect shipping to be around £15.00 on those too.
Cheers

Also if you want to see more photos of the lip, here is an ad from a car Xtreme UK had for sale:
http://www.xtreme-uk.net/performance...ail.asp?ID=250
Unfortunately Xtreme announced they have gone out of business yesterday too, which is a real shame.

The corners come out pretty straight from the side of the bumper but they don't stick out further though.

I'm liking the Exhaust heat shield. Not feeling the lip, thought I do wish I had those FQ wheels, lol.

It is possible some of the Mitsubishi dealerships could still have them in stock over here.

Looks great! Very clean which is awesome!
If I may ask what car cover are you using? Would it fit weird if the spoiler was removed? I'm looking to get one even though I store my car in the garage as I'm sick of washing it clean and then 2 weeks later when I want to drive it the car is covered in dust.
