It's the same in CA, but I'm not going to drill holes on this bumper. (I have a stock bumper with the plate just in case)
BTW, do you guys think I should get a CF hood for my car? Would it ruin the clean look?

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.

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...

Clerance is okay, but I'd suggest 235/40-18 tires.

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.
