No removal of the bumper support necessary.
However, I didn't bother to put on the IC sprayer yet. Not sure if that will fit or not, but it should.

this is quote from bulletproof automotive website... "This fiberglass bumper is made for the Evo VIII, works with the stock hood and removes front bumper beam."

Yeah I ****ed up. My apologies.

We were so used to all of the JDM bumper having to eliminate the stock bumper beam, since that piece doesn't exist there, we just figured all the Japanese bumpers would be that way. But GP Sports seems to have considered the USDM Evo, I guess.

Corrected the website and started another group buy.

Any suggestions..I dont want to keep my car clean


I'm partial to the Veilside under wings, but I would recommend your trying to alter the front wing so it looks identical to the rear wing. I hate how the front one makes that nasty L shape.

C-West won't match, Varis is too subtle (and pricey), and Monster Sport side spats or Kansai side diffusers won't look 'continuous'.

tlin8 Looks good!!! I don't think you need side skirts. It's not really that much lower that you would NEED side skirts.

I like the fact that this bumper, monster sport, and gailla dont need anything else.
