It would take 4 months. I already have a Varis hood and v1 canards, and those took 4 months.

Someone had this for sale though an hour and a half away from me. It is brand new. I had talked to him before about buying something else he had for sale, and he mentioned that he also had this for sale. When I hit the deer I remembered him and the next day we had it all set. So fortunately I did not have to wait at all or pay any huge shipping costs.

Nice upgrade man.

Any pics of the deer-damaged bumper?
Yeah, I'll post them up later. I also have a pic of the dead deer.

Thanks Eric. I called you yesterday and asked about those canards. I'll be ordering them later.

Well, I did everyone else a favor by pushing it off to the side by the median. My JUN lip acted as a nice plow . I have hair stuck in some parts under my car.

Nah, I would not "upgrade" if nothing happened to my former setup. That was $$$

Are you getting rid of your stock rear bumper? I am in need of a RR replacement rear bumper after a mishap. PM me if you have interest.

Damn Fishstix! The good thing here is that you were not hurt. Btw, I really like your new upgrades!

I am guessing the deer died instantly upon impact?? If so, that is one strong EVO! Deers usually just walk off slightly hurt after something like that and there's usually a lot of damage sustained on the vehicle that hit the deer.

Check the thread title, dude, he hit a dead deer. The spark of life had already left it. Fishtix just added JDM insult to injury, lol.

i don't doubt it's a nice looking piece overall. but like i said, i would have expected better quality than that (isn't that why they charge premium for jay dee emm?). it's not difficult to use one uniform roll to get that entire splitter. i could be wrong, but i think they just cut corners on it to utilize as much as possible from a single roll.

they cut it right at the crease line on both sides, if anything it make the crease sharper and gives it a more desireable look, at least that is my opinion on it but I think that bumper is pure sex. Cant wait to see the end result, the deer did you a favor by the way
