^^ The US part number is 6400B096. The JDM is 6400B095 (thinner)

 

I think TheSIn has swapped the USDM crashed beam for JDM one. He might be the expert at this.

 

Update:

I finally had RRE install my Rennline receiver + tow hook:









I also bought a new tow hook hole cover and used the Dremel with a sanding cylinder to bore out the middle. Fit pretty well.

 

^^Looks good.

 

looks OEM. total cost?

 

Looks like their E82 mount, so $125 in parts. I'd imagine the install takes a little work.

 

bracket = $24
hook = $95
labor = $160
oem cover = ~$15

so ~$300 all together

but now no more fear of getting yelled at at the track. plus... i think the stainless steel color matches well with the rest of the car. it doesn't really stand out much, so i think i can leave it on.

 

I like it! Thanks for the pics, I'm gonna try it myself. Looks pretty straight forward. Looks like they just drilled holes and used bolt/nut to fix the bracket with some washers to account for the curved surface of the bumper.

 

and also it seems they trimmed the black foam piece.

 

its crazy the hook is 95...actually saw same thing in ebay for 75.
just too much for a piece like that

 

that's just about the right price dude. t1r's is ~$75 from evasive, but other than that, most of the domestic and low-end jdm brands are ~$100. brands like spoon and hks will be > $140. besides... the difference of $20 relative to the price of the entire package is not significant.

 

looks like a clean install. i may have to try this now.

 

kick A$$. looks great!

 

subtract the labor: its an easy DIY
subtract the cover cost: use your existing one

new total: $119

 

will this actually work? that 2 bolts will hold when you are pulling the car out of dirt and stuff? it doesn't look it will hold tho...
