just wondering, can u put the plate on the window and still be legal?

 

Any scraping yet?

 

I'm almost positive you can.

 

if i get a bumper like this, i would just use zip ties to put in the plate but no drilling

 

it looks like you lowered it, didnt you?

 

Wow man, that looks absolutely A. It's fantastic. Best kit I've seen on an Evo 8 and possibly the best Evo 8 I've ever seen (narrowly beats out Kansai kit).

It's so smooth and refined yet it has sharp lines and good angles.
I wonder how many more Evo's Mitsubishi would have sold if they used a more square bumper instead of the rounded look on the Evo 8. I realize many of you like this but I've heard dozens and dozens of times why people don't like or won't buy the Evo because they think the front is ugly.

I know Mitsubishi is pretty stuck on this "brand identity thing" that Chrysler probably hoisted on them and the center pillar on the nose is to stay as their vehicle trademark but I really do hate it. Just for fun, I photoshopped your Evo (hope you don't mind) and made a center pillar out of my fantasy that Mitsu would again switch to bolder, less conflicting lines on the Evo IX. I'm not a big fan of round but I can live with a nose pillar (aka "Pontiac Block") on a square bumper.

-edit- Naw, your's still looks light-years better.

 

hmmm ic ic

 

actually....that doesnt look too bad

 

I'm almost positive you can't--in Maryland, at least. Our Vehicle Laws say that it must be mounted in the front, and I've seen lots of people pulled over because they had the tag in the front windshield. Sure it looks cooler, but don't be surprised if a bored cop pulls you over.

IS200, that's a bangin' bumper. Aside from the Gialla and the CWest, I'd go for that one. Makes the front look like a feline...

 

Why would you suggest the 235's over the 245'S?

 

Depends. Here in NJ, I wouldn't dream of it; it's just asking to get pulled over. But I see more than a couple people running around with the front plate in the window. Technically, it is illegal, since in states with front plates, they must be such and such inches off the ground, affixed to the front of the car.

And for anyone who has to run a front plate, I would agree with mifesto; use zip ties or tape or something, but I would advise against drilling into the bumper.

 

damn that looks crazy nice. def very unique kit. VERY clean design

 

How is the weight of this fiberglass bumper compared to the stock bumper cover? I'm sure you didn't actually weigh both parts but just give me your opinion of which is lighter...

 

it would not be legal because it will hinder the deployment of the airbags.

 

The GP Sports is slightly lighter than stock.
